Answer: Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS)

Explanation: In 1994, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act was passed into law. This act tasked the Food and Drug Administration FDA with the role of ensuring that ingredients and dietary supplements are safe for consumption. However, ingredients and supplements that were already marketed before 1994 do not need approval, these items were "grandfathered" and Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS).
