Are They Going to Cut the GRAS?

By Eric F. Greenberg, Attorney-at-law July-August 2026

Are They Going to Cut the GRAS?

There’s a storm a-brewing over the legal requirements for substances in foods and beverages that are considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Although the storm is mostly targeting food ingredients, food-contact substances, like food and beverage packaging materials, could well be scooped up in the changes as well. This could make life more difficult for food packaging makers and users. Changes to federal law are being proposed in the U.S. Congress, but changes in state laws are also under consideration in New York, California, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
