"We're pleased that the FDA had no questions related to our GRAS notification for our XOS prebiotic," said Mike Bush, chief executive officer for Prenexus Health, in a press release. "This allows use of the ingredient in a range of food applications such as bars, ready-to-eat cereals, and functional beverages, to name a few of the accepted categories."
