Are food additives safe? The FDA has long allowed a group of chemicals that are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) in our foods. Tufts University takes a look at how they are approved and finds some concerning conflicts of interest in the way GRAS is determined. For the 451 GRAS notifications, 22.4% of the safety assessments were made by an employee of an additive manufacturer, 13.3% by an employee of a consulting firm selected by the manufacturer, and 64.3% by an expert panel selected by either a consulting firm or the manufacturer. A standing expert panel selected by a third party made none of these safety assessments. The 290 panels that made GRAS determinations had an average of 3.5 members, with a maximum of 7. Ten individuals served on 27 or more panels; 1 individual served on 128 panels (44.1%). At least 1 of the 10 individuals with the most frequent service was a member of 225 panels (77.6%). The safest thing to do is to eliminate those questionable chemicals (like nitrites). We recommend using the EWGs website: ewg.org/research/ewg-s-dirty-dozen-guide-food-additives
