The Institute of Medicine's (IOM's) Food Forum was established in 1993 to allow science and technology leaders in the food industry, top administrators in the federal government, representatives from consumer interest groups, and academicians to discuss and debate food and food safety issues openly and in a neutral setting. The Forum provides a mechanism for these diverse groups to identify possible approaches for addressing food and food safety problems and issues surrounding the often complex interactions among industry, academia, regulatory agencies, and consumers. On May 6-7, 1997, the Forum convened a workshop titled Enhancing the Regulatory Decision-Making Process for Direct Food Ingredient Technologies. Workshop speakers and participants discussed legal aspects of the direct food additive approval process, changes in science and technology, and opportunities for reform. Two background papers, which can be found in Appendix A and B, were shared with the participants prior to the workshop. The first paper provided a description and history of the legal framework of the food ingredient approval process and the second paper focused on changes in science and technology practices with emphasis placed on lessons learned from case studies. This document presents a summary of the workshop.

This fully revised and updated edition begins with insights into the scope, importance and continuing growth opportunities in the nutraceutical and functional food industries and explores the latest regulatory changes and their impacts. The book demonstrates the global scenario of the acceptance and demand for these products and explores the regulatory hurdles and claim substantiation of these foods and dietary supplements, as well as addressing the intricate aspects of manufacturing procedures. As the public gains confidence in the quality of these products based on sophisticated quality control, a broad spectrum of safety studies and GRAS, peer-reviewed publications and cutting-edge human clinical studies have emerged. An increasing number of additional populations around-the-world now recognize the efficacy and functions of nutraceuticals and functional foods as established by those scientific research studies. As a result, a number of structurally and functionally active novel nutraceuticals and several new functional beverages have been introduced into the marketplace around the world. - Features fully revised and updated information with current regulations from around the world, including GRAS status and DSHEA regulators - Offers 45% new content including three new chapters –NSF: Ensuring the Public Health and Safety Aspects of Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods; Role of the United States Pharmacoepia in the Establishment of Nutraceuticals and Functional Food Safety; An Overview on the New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) and Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) Status, and the addition of cGMP regulations for dietary supplements - Includes insight into working with regulatory agencies, processes and procedures - Provides a link to the contact information for most regulatory bodies for readers wishing to gain further knowledge

Supplemented with a handy keyword index, the Compact Regs series provides pocket-sized format (3 3/4 inch x 5 1/2 inch) verbatim reproductions of key US FDA regulations. The text is complete and has not been altered in any manner from the original source. Compact Regs Parts 110 and 111 covers good manufacturing practices for acid foods and batters. It describes prepackaging heat treatment of foodstuffs for a sufficient time and at a sufficient temperature to partially or completely inactivate the naturally occurring enzymes and effect other physical or biochemical changes in the food. It covers critical control points in a food process where there is a high probability that improper control may cause, allow, or contribute to a hazard or to filth in the final food, or decomposition of the final food. In short, the book covers food safety in food processing and manufacturing from the field to packaging and storage. This is the perfect low-cost tool for: employees as part of documented GMP training programs; suppliers/vendors so that they may provide components, labels, and parts with an understanding compliant with FDA requirements; and technicians charged with ensuring adherence to US FDA regulations.
