The U.S. FDA has awarded a letter of no objection for Hadley, MA- based American River Nutrition, Inc.’s DeltaGold vitamin E tocotrienol ingredient. Derived from annatto, DeltaGold now has Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status. AIBMR Life Sciences, Inc., a scientific and regulatory consulting firm, prepared the notification.
DeltaGold has been self-determined as GRAS since 2010 after a comprehensive review of safety and toxicology data by an independent expert panel chaired by a former FDA and EPA toxicologist. FDA GRAS status lends further support to the ingredient’s safety, and allows manufacturers to add DeltaGold to a variety of foods and beverages, including baked goods, cereals, milk products, nutritional bars, nuts, and fats and oils among others.
DeltaGold is the only tocopherol-free source of tocotrienol, and contains the highest amount of delta- and gamma-tocotrienols that is commercially available. Derived from the annatto plant, DeltaGold is all-natural and the only tocotrienol manufactured in the U.S. under a patent-protected process.
