Consistent with a long history of protecting trade secrets of members, FEMA secured amendments to the New Jersey Right to Know law, ensuring the return of more than 50,000 proprietary flavor formulas.
FEMA’s Expert Panel has authored its 25th publication on progress in considering the “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) status of flavoring substances, published in the July, 2011 issue of Food Technology. The Expert Panel reviewed 61 new GRAS flavoring substances and also determined new use levels for 560 flavoring substances in the chewing gum category.
The Panel also critically reviews the results of chronic 2-year bioassays performed at the National Toxicology Program (NTP) for pyridine (FEMA No. 2966). Also included are changes in the GRAS status of two substances recently re-evaluated by the Expert Panel, an update on the GRAS status of common salts of GRAS substances, and an update on the current membership of the Panel.
