Good day letter for Clasado, as FDA has no objections over Bimuno prebiotic’s GRAS status for formula
Bimuno is a trans-galactooligosaccharide (GOS) second generation prebiotic, and had already recently received GRAS certification (GRN 000484), through scientific procedures, for use as an ingredient in a variety of food and beverage categories at levels ranging from 0.8 to 3.0 grams per serving (g/serving).
The ingredient has now also received GRAS certification (GRN 000495) for use as an ingredient in term infant formula and follow-on formula at up to 7.2 grams per liter (g/L) of reconstituted or ready-to-consume product.
“This recent GRAS approval for Clasado’s Bimuno is an important support to our commercial activity alongside our extensive program of scientific trials. Both of these continue to re-enforce and certify the various health benefits of Bimuno,” said Graham Waters, CEO, Clasado Inc.
