The law excludes substances that are on the GRAS list or have prior sanction from being defined as a food fraud.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The GRAS list (Generally Recognized As Safe) and prior sanctions relate to the safety and approval of substances for use in foods by regulatory bodies like the FDA, not directly to the definition of food fraud. Food fraud refers to the deliberate substitution, addition, tampering, or misrepresentation of food, food ingredients, or food packaging, or false or misleading statements made about a product, for economic gain, regardless of the GRAS status or prior sanctions of the substances involved.
