Close the GRAS loophole

To: Rep. Peters, Sen. Padilla, Sen. Schiff

From: A constituent in San Diego, CA

October 18

As the Trump Administration dismantles every single safety regulation known to man, it's time for the Food & Drug Administration to close the “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS) loophole and start enforcing the 1958 Food Additives Amendment as Congress intended. As the largest good conglomerates race to patent proteins and other additives, many of which cover new ingredients that will make into our foods. Too often, that way is a loophole that lets companies declare their own ingredients safe without FDA premarket review. This the need. Take action now and closer the loophole.
