It’s the standard whack-a-mole routine for novel chemistry. Put new compounds out there — even food contact — without much in the way of research into their safety, and only pull them when evidence becomes too strong to ignore. Rinse and repeat with minor tweaks to the chemistry each time. If only we used the precautionary approach to regulation of this stuff.

Not opposed to more studies – but press releases should include dose and duration of exposure in the model – and how it relates to understood dose and duration of exposure in humans, as understood by epidemiological data.
