ISRTP Workshop on GRAS Determinations

The International Society of Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology (“ISRTP”) will be holding a Workshop on GRAS Determinations from October 13-14, 2014 at the ASEA Conference Center in Washington, DC.  The workshop provides a forum for leading scientific experts to contribute to the ongoing debate prompted by the recent barrage of criticisms of GRAS determinations.  Speakers will examine the merits and possible limitations of the GRAS review process, and lead discussion of various means for enhancing the value of GRAS determinations in assuring the safety of our food supply.  FDA Law Blog readers can register for the workshop here.  A copy of the workshop agenda is available here. 

ISRTP provides an open public forum for policy makers and scientists promoting sound toxicologic and pharmacologic science as a basis for regulation affecting human safety and health, and the environment.  The current ISRTP Council President is Hyman, Phelps & McNamara, P.C.’s Diane B. McColl.  [http://www.hpm.com/vattorney.cfm?RID=27]
