Summary: David A. Kessler argues that the food industry should face stricter regulations and that the burden of proof for safety should fall on producers. He specifically opposes the "Generally Recognized As Safe" (GRAS) designation for food additives, calling for more oversight on food processing.
It’s time that we put restrictions on the food industry and stop them from hurting people. It doesn’t take a great deal of intelligence to look back through the decades and see the health effects that have played out as the industry has played with the processing of foods. Nothing should be GRAS that is being put into our foods. The safety burden of proof should always fall on the producer of the product. No one should be getting free passes to manipulate the chemical structure of the foods that we are eating
