Join Todd Harrison and Claudia Lewis, co-chairs of Venable’s FDA Group, on March 4 for their update on “GRAS, Grit and the Great Debate: The State of Food and Supplements 2026.” In this session, Todd and Claudia will lead a candid, engaging discussion on the realities of GRAS in an era of heightened scrutiny, rapid innovation, and evolving regulatory expectations. Drawing on years of advising food and ingredient companies, they will explore where GRAS succeeds, where it faces pressure, and how brands can thoughtfully assess risk when science, policy, and public perception collide. Attendees can expect practical insights, real-world context, and a thoughtful debate on the future of GRAS.
