ChemRisk® has provided strategic and scientific support required for regulatory approval of chemicals in foods and pharmaceutical agents. Typically the risk assessment paradigm is the most effective approach to dealing with questions about contaminants in food and it is perhaps the approach most preferred by regulatory agencies. We can evaluate the safety of direct, indirect, and secondary food additives which are used in a variety of products.
We can also evaluate the safety and efficacy of dietary supplements and functional foods (or “nutraceuticals”). ChemRisk® uses a logical, objective approach to establishing regulatory strategies that help clients jump the many obstacles which clients can face in getting their product to market.
