From the supplier: Many people in the food industry would like Congress to repeal the Delaney Clause, which was added to the Food and Cosmetic Act in 1958. This amendment forbids the use of any carcinogenic additives in food, even if the risk is very small. In the past 35 years, scientific advances have made it possible to measure substances in parts per billion, and the food industry is asking whether it makes sense to ban a product with such a small amount of a carcinogen. The Environmental Protection Agency tried to modify the Delaney Clause by adopting a negligible risk standard, but this was denied in court.
