The Spin

Narrative A

The GRAS pathway allows companies to maintain confidentiality around proprietary information and trade secrets, providing a faster, more cost-effective route to market. This system has made the US an attractive destination for food innovation and strengthened its position as a future food leader.

Green Queen

Narrative B

The GRAS system represents a broken food chemical safety framework where 99% of food chemicals are reviewed by chemical companies rather than the FDA. This self-regulation has allowed potentially unsafe ingredients to enter the food supply without proper oversight or public transparency.
