- Summary:
- Examines the Food and Drug Administration's "de minimis" policy which allows food additives to be approved if they pose only a trivial risk of inducing cancer, as opposed to the Delaney clause of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act which prohibits the use of any amount of an identified carcinogen. Discusses the controversy over the scientific and legal basis for the "de minimis" policy.
