What are some other food additives that may be used in the future?
Among other petitions, FDA is carefully evaluating requests to use ingredients that would replace either sugar or fat in food. In 1990, FDA confirmed the GRAS status of Simplesse, (registered trademark) a fat replacement made from milk or egg white protein, for use in frozen desserts. The agency also is evaluating a food additive petition for Olestra, which would partially replace the fat in oils and shortenings.
