Establishes a board to review the safety of substances designated as GRAS before 2000.
The GRAS Oversight and Transparency Act directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a board to review the safety of substances designated as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) before 2000. The board will categorize these designations into three tiers based on priority and review them within specified timelines. The board will also notify the Secretary and Congress if a substance is not shown to be safe and recommend revocation of its GRAS designation. The Secretary can then revoke the designation and take actions against non-compliant manufacturers.
