Won't it get a free pass on all kinds of regulation because it's naturally occurring? I don't know a whole log about regulation but I assume if you were to make something in the lab, mix it with food and claim antibacterial benefits you would probably be a few hundred million bucks out of pocket having to prove to the FDA that it was safe as well as proving it did what you say it does. Plus it being natural you will have off-label clones riding your expenditure once you got it through so there's no profit margin.

> claim antibacterial benefits At this point, it would need to be evaluated by the FDA because its making a medical claim. >because it's naturally occurring? Penicillium fungi is naturally occurring too. That doesn't' mean you can put it in food arbitrarily.
