2010-03-07 GAO: FDA Needs To Strengthen Oversight Of Food Ingredients

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- The U. S. Food and Drug Administration should require companies to tell the agency what food enhancers, spices and preservatives are in their foods because of concern some food ingredients might be unsafe, according to a government report released on Friday.

A report from the Government Accountability Office says the FDA needs to strengthen its oversight of food ingredients before they enter the food supply. The report notes that under current law companies can determine voluntarily whether spices, preservatives and other additives are safe without telling the FDA.

2010-03-06 For California vintners, its not easy being green

As for the reasons that eco-labels drive down prices, the researchers have a number of theories. Many have to do with confusion in consumers minds over the difference between wine made with organically grown grapes and organic wine, which is made without the benefit of such chemical preservatives as sulfites. Preservatives can be used in certified wine.

Consumers buy organically grown food because they think it is going to improve their health," Delmas said. "That motivation doesnt go a long way with wine. If consumers want to drink something healthy, theyll reach for wheat grass, not an alcoholic beverage. "

2010-03-01 Stock up on loads of good bacteria

People promote bad bacterial growth by consuming sugar, alcohol, caffeine, drugs and food with preservatives. Stress also contributes to the build-up. Antibiotics also kill good bacteria. An increase in probiotics is essential after any course of antibiotics. The majority of chicken we eat is also drug-enhanced, especially in the form of antibiotics. These antibiotics can damage our insides.

Most people walk around with more bad bacteria than the good variety. Good bacteria displaces bad bacteria and therefore it is imperative to consume food containing good bacteria. Food you eat is absorbed in the upper intestinal tract. The food that is not absorbed goes to the colon where bad bacteria ferment to produce toxic chemicals. These chemicals are absorbed into the

2010-02-27 Rules governing marketing of natural cosmetics - International Law Office

Unlike food products, the use of certain additives is not incompatible with a cosmetics claim of naturalness (eg, nature-identical preservatives of certain emulsifiers and colouring). The use of synthetic substances is generally prohibited.

Annex 2a of the NaTrue standard includes a list of nature-identical preservatives that can be used in natural cosmetics and indicates that the use of these substances must be stated on the packaging. Annex B includes a list of the nature-identical inorganic pigments and minerals approved for use in the manufacturing of natural cosmetics. It includes almost the same preservatives as those set out in the Cosmos standard.

The absence of specific regulations on natural and organic cosmetics and the disparity between private standards and administrative interpretations create uncertainty for European cosmetics manufacturers. Stakeholders should check the conditions of use for making claims in each country and adapt the composition of products or their marketing accordingly.
