CIRS Assists Penglai Marine in Successfully Obtaining GRAS Notice for Anhydrous Magnesium Citrate

Recently, CIRS Group successfully assisted Penglai Marine in obtaining a Self-GRAS Notice for its anhydrous magnesium citrate. It signifies that Penglai Marine’s anhydrous magnesium citrate may now be legally marketed and utilized as a safe food ingredient within the US market, marking a significant step forward in Penglai Marine’s internationalization efforts.

GRAS, short for “Generally Recognized as Safe”, is a critical designation within the US food regulatory framework. It refers to substances that qualified experts, based on scientific procedures, have determined to be safe under the conditions of their intended use. Achieving GRAS status is highly regarded internationally and serves as an essential pathway for enterprises seeking to expand the global reach of their food ingredients and additives.
