美国食品和药物管理局允许食品工业自主监管数千种添加成分, The FDA allows food industry self-regulation of thousands of added ingredients under the GRAS designation, resulting in limited government oversight.
美国公共卫生杂志最近的一项研究表明,食品和药品管理局允许食品工业在没有政府适当监督的情况下自行管制美国食品供应中数千种添加成分的安全标准。 A recent study in the American Journal of Public Health reveals the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows the food industry to self-regulate safety standards for thousands of added ingredients in the U.S. food supply, without adequate government oversight. 食品和药物管理局的"一般公认安全" (GRAS) 认定允许食品公司独立确定哪些物质属于这一类,导致许多新物质在没有任何政府监督的情况下被添加到食品供应中. The FDA's "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS) designation allows food companies to independently determine which substances fall into this category, resulting in many new substances being added to the food supply without any government oversight. 美国食品和药物管理局对食品添加剂和GRAS物质的有限审查,以及其不经常撤销GRAS名称,引发了人们对超加工食品中常见的许多成分安全性的担忧. The FDA's limited review of food additives and GRAS substances, and its infrequent revocation of GRAS designations, raises concerns about the safety of many ingredients commonly found in ultra-processed foods.
