GLG Life Tech Corporation, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, has received a Letter of No Objection from FDA regarding the Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status of the company’s purity stevia extracts: PureSTV and BlendSure. These high purity extracts both contain greater than 95% steviol glycosides. The GRAS process is a legal and FDA-approved process that allows companies to conduct their own GRAS determinations by consulting with an independent panel of scientists to determine if an ingredient meets agency’s criteria for safety.
