Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Substances not in use before 1958 are classified as "food additives" and subject to regulation under the Food Additives Amendment of 1958 to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The GRAS list (A) stands for "Generally Recognized As Safe" and applies to substances already in use prior to 1958, and those determined to be safe through scientific evidence. The Food Quality Protection Act (C) primarily deals with pesticide residue on food. The Federal Food and Drug Act (E) was the original landmark legislation for federal regulation of food and drugs, but has been superseded by subsequent laws and amendments such as the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
