Polyphenolics Expands GRAS Notification for Beverages

MADERA, Calif.—For the third time, Polyphenolics expanded the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status of its MegaNatural-BP, MegaNatural Gold Grape Seed Extract and MegaNatural GSKE Grape Pomace Extract. These ingredients were first determined GRAS for use in fruit juices and fruit flavored beverages, and then for use in cereals, food bars, yogurt and yogurt desserts. Now, they carry an increased GRAS level for use as antioxidants in fruit juices and fruit flavored beverages to 200 mg per 8 oz. serving. In addition, each of these ingredients is now self-affirmed GRAS for use in a variety of foods. MegaNatural-BP has been evaluated in two human clinicals for its effect on lowering blood pressure.
