It wasn't until May 2024, two years later, that FDA formally reviewed and then banned the ingredient from the food supply. Why are food manufacturers allowed to self-approve ingredients for use in food without regulatory oversight? My new perspective piece with Pieter Cohen in NEJM talks about tara flour, the "GRAS" exception to food safety oversight, and what we should do https://lnkd.in/efkNcPNs
