Steve Armstrong, EAS Independent Advisor for Food Law and Regulation, is co-author of an article published in the March 2019 Food Drug Law Institute Update Magazine covering FDA’s recent decision to delist six synthetic ingredients as required by the Delaney Clause, a 60-year-old provision of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) which states, in plain language that FDA may not approve any food additive—even one that is safe—if it is “found to induce cancer” in laboratory animals. Steve hypothesizes as to whether it is time to repeal the Delaney Clause.
