		GRAS is one of four legal categories set up by Congress under the 1958 Food Additives Amendment to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act).
		A GRAS substance, therefore, is one that has a long, safe history of common use in foods, or that is determined to be safe based on proven science.
		If, however, new evidence suggests that a GRAS substance may no longer be safe, the FDA can prohibit its use or require further studies to determine its safety.

		Foie gras, the liver of a duck or goose swollen to many times normal size by force-feeding to make an expensive "gourmet" appetizer, is the very painful liver disease hepatic lipidosis.

		Foie gras is sold mainly in the most expensive restaurants, by costly caterers, and in gourmet stores, but the force-feeding magnates want it to become a pizza topping, an ordinary food of the masses.
