These sections address the ingredients and additives “generally recognized as safe” (or GRAS) for human consumption and the regulation of dietary supplements. The effect of this proposed rule is to provide uniformity and consistency with both our regulated industry that is already operating on the current versions of the federal code language and with our federal partners with which we have ongoing cooperative agreements for inspection services.
