An upcoming webinar for industry hosted by the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) will demystify Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) determinations during the product development process.

GRAS is a designation applied to ingredients that have been recognized as safe by qualified experts. The webinar, titled, “Decoding GRAS: Regulatory Understanding in the New Product Development Process,” will provide key insight to the regulatory journey of determining an ingredient as GRAS and will equip food and beverage professionals with the skills needed to efficiently navigate the process. “Decoding GRAS” will also serve as a preview to a Short Course of similar name, “GRAS Mastery: Regulator Understanding in the New Product Development Process” at the 2024 IFT FIRST Annual Event and Expo, where participants will earn a course certificate and gain access to resources on GRAS ingredient determinations.
