TORONTO, Oct. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In light of McDonald’s recent recall of Quarter Pounders due to contamination with E. coli, the need for strict surveillance of food ingredients has never been more critical. Quality Smart Solutions has launched GRAS Experts, a new division aimed at addressing ingredient safety issues and helping businesses stay ahead of regulatory changes and avoid recalls.
“Everyone is talking about food safety right now, and for good reason,” said Andrew Parshad, President and Founder of Quality Smart Solutions. “McDonald’s recall is a stark reminder of what can happen when an ingredient or food safety isn’t air-conditioned. GRAS experts are created to help businesses avoid these situations by ensuring that their ingredients are proven safe and fully compliant with changing regulations.”

As more companies face scrutiny of what goes into their products, the GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) process has become an important standard for ingredient approval. GRAS experts simplify this complex process, providing businesses with expert guidance to secure GRAS status for their ingredients, navigate Health Canada approvals, and meet EFSA Novel Food regulations.
Additionally, the recently introduced Toxic Free Food Act complicates the compliance process. The issue is that the GRAS certified method (not FDA compliance) gives any supplier of a novel ingredient the ability to combine dosage or evidence without a government agency evaluating it. The law proposes to end that and requires novel ingredients to be mandatorily submitted to the FDA. GRAS professionals are designed to successfully navigate this process.
With a dedicated team of legal experts, GRAS Experts takes the stress out of compliance, helping food manufacturers and ingredient suppliers prevent expensive recalls and protect their reputation.
At a time when consumers are more concerned than ever about what’s in their food, Quality Smart Solutions is stepping up to ensure businesses can deliver products that meet the highest safety standards. GRAS professionals aren’t just about compliance—it’s about trust.
