Funny fact
"gras" means fat in French. Talam (talk) 00:32, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Baobab GRAS
There seems no reason why this plant food should be singled out in the section on Designation, as it is simply one among many examples. Moving to Talk to preserve history. --Zefr (talk) 21:34, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

A recent innovative GRAS notification for baobab dried fruit pulp successfully demonstrated safety to the FDA by using detailed analyses of the nutritional and phytochemical components in Baobab, without resorting to animal safety data.

This alternative approach, which not only saves unnecessary animal experiments but also saves hugely in the costs involved for approval, was used for the first time in a similar way to obtain "novel food" approval in the EU. Both approaches were pioneered by English scientist Dr John Wilkinson, in conjunction with Phytotrade Africa.

Where is the GRAS list?
Whenever I come to this Wiki page, I am looking for a link to the GRAS list, but never find it. I am not looking for the FDA.gov main page, or the enabling legislation, or FDA regulations, or FDA decisions about certain food additives, or commentaries/complaints about GRAS, or news items about certain GRAS chemicals, or FDA paper publications. All I want is the GRAS list itself, in alphabetic order by chemical name and common name for each of the 700+ food additives, with a brief description of each chemical and its uses in food. It is probably a PDF file with an index. Where on the Internet can I find the GRAS list itself? Greensburger (talk) 17:32, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
