At the IFT International Food Nanoscience Conference last weekend, the FDA's Dr. Annette McCarthy said her organization has sufficient authority to manage nanotech safety.


"In order to assist manufacturers to ensure product safety, the FDA is in the process of developing a guidance document for nanotechnology, which will become available before the end of 2010," writes Food Production Daily's Caroline Scott-Thomas. "In the meantime, McCarthy said that nanotechnology is not as simple as just making an ingredient smaller; manufacturers looking to petition the FDA for acceptance of a nanotech food additive or coloring's safety should examine its 'impact on identity and toxicity.'"
