Substances in use at the time the amendment was passed could continue to be used if they were generally recognized as safe GRAS.
by experts qualified by training and experience to make such as judgment or if their safety could be assumed from prior use in the food supply .

Which stated that no additive would be deemed safe if any quantity of it was found to induce cancer in humans or any animal species.
The color additive amendment was added in1960 to establish rules for the use of color additives that were somewhat similar to the rules for other additives, but it allowed color and flavor substances found to be carcinogenic to be referred to a committee for evaluation of their safety.
