BioHistory Moment: Food Additives Amendments passed
On September 6, 1958, The Food Additives Amendments were passed, requiring that food
additives, including preservatives, emulsifiers, and other functional additives,
be subject to premarket testing.
Today, the FDA must review the safety of food and color additives before manufacturers
and distributors can market them. To initiate this review, the FDA requires sponsors
to submit a petition or notification that includes test data demonstrating the
safety of the intended use of the substance.

"When people thought the Earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the Earth was spherical they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the Earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the Earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together."
