For the same reason you don't need to have every single steak and every single carrot analysed to a molecular level. After all, each individual steak or carrot will be a little different from every other. People who know what they're doing has found that mixtures of certain substances within certain parameters are just inherently safe and there's no point in a lot of histrionics around this.
> Who decides what the library of safe ingredients are?
The FDA, as well as their counterparts in practically every single country in the world. This is not controversial.
- ada1981 8y agoA steak or carrot is a distinct ingredient unit. “Natural Flavors” is not. Obscuring the base ingredient unit is something I’d prefer wasn’t allowed.
- ada1981 8y agoWhy not just put “Edible Stuff” as the only ingredient... as long as it was a bunch of people who know what I should eat that ok it.
