The federal GRAS regime is over.
State disclosure starts now.
New York's Food Safety and Chemical Disclosure Act (AB 1556) gives food and beverage manufacturers twelve months to file structured GRAS disclosures into a public database. California, New Jersey and Pennsylvania are next, with diverging formats. PRODEEN's GRAS-Ready package — fixed price per ingredient, human-verified outcome — clears every state's regime from one canonical record.
After 68 years, GRAS just stopped being a federal question.
Self-affirmed GRAS notification was the operating model since 1958. New York replaced it with a public disclosure regime in April 2026. California, New Jersey and Pennsylvania have parallel bills moving. What looked like one filing is becoming a continuous, multi-state data discipline.
Multi-state divergence is structural
Each state defines covered entity, GRAS scope, reporting fields and timelines slightly differently. National manufacturers will need four versions of overlapping evidence within 24 months.
The reporting unit is SKU × ingredient × state
Mid-sized brands are looking at thousands of disclosure entries. Large CPG at orders of magnitude more. Spreadsheet-and-analyst is not a viable architecture.
The disclosed data is public and queryable
NYSDAM publishes a searchable database. NGOs, plaintiffs' firms and journalists will index it. Weak GRAS narratives become public risk surfaces, not private inadequacies.
The deadline most companies haven't internalised.
Six automation playbooks. One canonical record. Human-verified output.
PRODEEN's GRAS-Ready capability is built from six Prodeen automation playbooks that chain together — from horizon scanning the legislative landscape to delivering a filing-ready packet for each state, signed off by a regulatory expert before delivery.
Multi-State GRAS Horizon Scan
Continuous monitoring of NY, CA, NJ, PA and the 100+ state food chemistry bills nationally — tagged against your ingredient and SKU portfolio.
GRAS Ingredient Inventory
Ingest your SKU master, identify in-scope self-affirmed GRAS substances, flag gaps before NYSDAM does. Becomes the spine for every filing.
GRAS Supplier Outreach
Automate evidence collection across 30–80 suppliers. Templated questionnaires, structured ingestion, normalised into one canonical record.
GRAS Evidence Dossier Builder
For each ingredient: substantial consumption history, GRAS basis narrative, supporting data and methods. AI-drafted, human-reviewed, audit-trailed.
GRAS State Filing Generator
Map the canonical record onto NY, CA, NJ, PA filing formats. Build once; export as many times as states require.
Public-Disclosure Risk Review
Pre-publication review by regulatory experts. Weak basis narratives flagged for reformulation, supplier substitution or counsel review — before they go public.
Three audiences, three operating realities, one data layer.
Win the customer questionnaire wave
Your CPG customers will demand GRAS evidence within weeks. Build the canonical record once; respond to every customer, every state, automatically. Anchor account: IFF.
The regulatory team you can't afford to hire
No in-house regulatory leader? Outside counsel quoting six figures per state? PRODEEN runs your GRAS function — fixed price per ingredient, every state, human-verified output.
Make your regulatory team 5× more leveraged
Sits alongside PLM, QMS and SAP via API. State-rule engine maps canonical evidence onto every state. Senior scientists return to product innovation.
Compliance is the entry point. The data layer is the asset.
Outside counsel files for one state. Generic GRC platforms have no food-domain ontology. Generic LLMs cannot produce audit-ready output without human regulatory review. PRODEEN is purpose-built for this regime.
One canonical record. Every state. Forever.
Build evidence once; export it into every state's format as those laws come online. Counsel writes the basis narrative; PRODEEN owns the data and the audit trail.
Food-specific schema, baked in.
Ingredient × supplier × state is a domain-specific data model. We've built it. Generic compliance tools haven't.
Human-verified outcome, not AI output.
Every disclosed packet is reviewed and signed off by a Prodeen regulatory expert before delivery. Auditable inference log. No model training on your data. Ever.
Fixed price per ingredient. Outcome guaranteed.
We don't price on seats or features. We price on the work — a filing-ready, human-verified packet for each ingredient in each state. If NYSDAM rejects a PRODEEN-produced filing for any reason traceable to our work, we re-do it at no charge.

Questions buyers ask before booking a demo.
Who has to file under New York's GRAS disclosure law?
Any food or beverage manufacturer that sells products containing self-affirmed GRAS ingredients in New York. The only exemption is for independently owned businesses with 100 or fewer employees.
When does the New York GRAS disclosure law take effect?
AB 1556 passed the Assembly on April 21, 2026 and the Senate on March 23, 2026. It takes effect one year after Governor Hochul's signature.
What about California, New Jersey and Pennsylvania?
Each has parallel bills with different reporting fields and timelines. PRODEEN's state-rule engine maps your canonical evidence onto each state's format, so you build the data once and file as many times as needed.
What data do we have to share with PRODEEN?
SKU and ingredient master data, supplier identities, and any historical GRAS dossiers you hold. We do not require formulation-level proprietary data. Customer data is never used to train models — period. Per-tenant isolation, BYOK encryption and SOC 2 Type II are available for enterprise tiers.
Is this a replacement for outside counsel?
No. Counsel writes the GRAS basis narrative and provides legal judgment. PRODEEN owns the data layer that counsel works from — and that powers every subsequent filing in every other state. We are complementary, not a replacement.
What does "human-verified outcome" mean?
Every disclosed packet PRODEEN produces is reviewed and signed off by a regulatory expert before delivery. If a state regulator rejects a filing for reasons that trace back to our data or basis narrative, we redo the work at no charge.
What about the banned additives — Red Dye 3, potassium bromate, propylparaben?
AB 1556 prohibits the manufacture, distribution and sale of food containing those three substances in New York. PRODEEN flags any SKU containing them across your catalogue, so reformulation or recall planning starts before enforcement does.
