It was disqualified for having an ingredient that was not GRAS(generally regarded as safe). Even GRAS is a pretty low bar for food safety.

Not true. It’s considered safe by WebMD, and it’s been studied as a food for a long time. It is chemically similar to cocoa butter.

So it’s been approved by more reputable organizations than the FDA.

Web MD is crap. Also GRAS is a term that only the FDA can bestow. So yeah it’s not GRAS.
