GRAS is an adjective, not a noun. So the question should be "Is coffee GRAS," rather than "Is coffee a GRAS." GRAS means "generally recognized as safe." It is a term derived from the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, administered by FDA. If a food ingredient is GRAS, it is excluded from the statutory definition of a "food additive." This is important because a substance that is excluded from the definition of a food additive does not need FDA premarket approval. Food additives, by contrast, must be approved by FDA before they can legally be used in food that will be sold in interstate commerce. FDA has a regulation that says that coffee extracts are GRAS but there is no regulation expressly dealing with coffee as a beverage. Nevertheless, coffee is probably GRAS and FDA has apparently never opined to the contrary.
NO. The FDA is only concerned with food in the United States.
The FDA defines food as any article consumed for nourishment, including solid and liquid substances intended for human consumption. This encompasses a wide range of products, such as fruits, vegetables, meats, grains, and beverages, as well as dietary supplements. The definition also includes food additives and any ingredient used in the preparation of food. Essentially, the FDA regulates anything that is meant to be ingested for sustenance or enjoyment.
To receive a natural label from the FDA, a food must not contain any artificial ingredients or added colors and should be minimally processed. While the FDA does not have a formal definition for "natural," it generally implies that the food is made from ingredients that are derived from plants or animals and are free from synthetic additives. However, it's important to note that the term "natural" can be subject to interpretation, as the FDA allows some flexibility in its application.
