Each subsequent edition has listed more substances, including those conferred food additive status, substances generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by qualified scientists (including the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers’ Association [FEMA] Expert Panel) and those substances having undergone GRAS Notification with the Food and Drug Administra- tion (FDA). The fourth edition added 200+ entries and represented a total reorganization and updating of the text, consistent with new data and regulations. This edition is likewise expanded with over 100 new entries, including many botanicals and other natural substances. The addition of botanicals is a response to an expanded readership with an interest in dietary supplements, in which a number of flavoring botanicals serve a dual role. GRAS, Dietary Supplements and Other Terms of Art, Science and Regulation The reader is cautioned that GRAS status and approval for use as a dietary supplement 1 should not be confused, for they are not the same and not even related. 2 Both the statutory and regulatory language is very clear in making the distinction between these two entities. Even the standard for determining safety of GRAS vs. dietary supplements is different (GRAS substances are held to a higher standard of safety). 3 For the same reasons, dietary supplements are not GRAS (nor are food additives, for that matter) and cannot be added to food for the purpose of providing a dietary supplement. 4 The reader should also note that a substance is GRAS for no other purpose and at no other amount ( i.e., level of use) than for which it was approved. The position of FDA was re-asserted with the following statement: It has been too often assumed that the GRAS substance may be used in any food, at any level for any purpose. As a result, the uses of some GRAS food ingredients have prolif- erated to the point where the GRAS status was brought into serious question. ( Federal Register 39 :34194-34195, 1974.) There are, of course, exceptions to all of the preceding, but each must be evaluated according to its own merits; and for these judgments, the opinion of experts in toxicology and regulations should be sought. Frequently asked questions regarding the meaning of “safe,” “common knowledge,” “notified substance,” etc., are addressed in 62 Fed. Reg. 18937 (April 17, 1997) or log on to www.burdockgroup.com. 1 More appropriately this means lack of objection by FDA for use as a dietary supplement ingredient. 2 For a definition of GRAS, see the definition of “food additive” in section 201(s) of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act as Amended. For a definition of a dietary supplement, see section 201(ff) of the Act. 3 The reader is referred to a discussion of this distinction (Burdock, G.A., 2000). Dietary supplements and lessons to be learned from GRAS, Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology 31 :68-76). Copies are also available upon request at www.burdockgroup.com. 4 A “nutrient supplement” may be added to food, but this is also distinct from a dietary supplement. See 21 CFR §170.3(o)(20) for a definition. 3034_C00.fm Page vii Monday, October 25, 2004 1:47 PM Copyright 2005 by CRC Press viii Safety-In-Use Most, but not all, of the ingredients cited in this book are either foods or products thereof, generally recognized as safe (GRAS) or have food additive status. Also, as noted above, there are exceptions to every rule and this is no less true in determinations of safety. Therefore, while there is an obligation on the original approving party to ensure safety-in-use at the time of approval, there is no assurance that all scientific data continue to support the original determination of safety. For example, safrole, coumarin and cinnamyl anthranilate, all once commonly used and presumed safe, are now prohibited from addition to food by FDA (21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §189). Likewise, FEMA has withdrawn GRAS status for nine substances, including alknet root extract (FEMA No. 2016), 2-methyl-5-vinylpyra- zine (FEMA No. 3211), musk ambrette (FEMA No. 2758) and o -vinylanisole (FEMA No. 3248). The bottom line is that the user of the substance is responsible for ensuring its safe use. Therefore, the reader is urged to make a determination of safety based on contempora- neous data, not simply historical information that may be outdated. Sources and Information It was not possible in all cases to obtain details regarding specifications, approved uses, etc., so otherwise available information was used. For example, while FEMA publishes use levels and categories of use for GRAS substances (in the journal Food Technology ), FEMA has not made equally available information such as complete specifications or identification (e.g., CAS numbers) for the substances upon which it has conferred GRAS status. In all cases, where critical information was not available, a good faith effort was made to obtain information from the public venue with the assumption these data represent the articles in commerce.
