TIL that even the FDfknA has considered cottonseed oil *not* GRAS (*not*generally recognized as safe) since 2015!!
Yet it is still used in thousands of products..
Not that I ever did trust the FDA, but this is on another level.. what is the point of its existence at all? (I know, I know, it’s a rhetorical question) 
The FDA is a joke of an agency for what they allow to be put into our food and drugs 🤯
You ever looked up how GRAS works? Laughable.
No but seeing this it clearly must be a bunch of bs 😅
There are two ways a substance can be granted GRAS status:
-Self-determination: The company determines that the substance is GRAS and voluntarily notifies the FDA.
-FDA affirmation: The FDA reviews the data and affirms that the substance meets GRAS criteria.
Wonder who makes money when self-determination or FDA affirmation occurs??
😐
