Requires food companies to share recipe details, boosting food safety and nutrition research.

This bill would make companies that handle processed foods share detailed recipe information, including hidden ingredients, with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It also aims to improve food safety and nutrition science by creating new research grants and a special center within the FDA. This means more transparency for consumers and better tools for the government to understand what's in our food.

What Would Change

Today, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) operates under existing authorities for human foods. It does not have specific requirements for companies to disclose all processed food recipe details, including nonlabeled ingredients, for public listing. This bill would change that by requiring companies that make or handle processed foods to provide the FDA with full recipe records and for nonlabeled ingredients to be submitted and published online. It would also create new FDA programs for critical food research, a center focused on nutrition and medicine, and a permanent Advisory Committee on Human Foods, which do not currently exist.

Key Provisions

Requires companies that make or handle processed foods (not farms or restaurants) to let the FDA see and copy all recipe records, including hidden ingredients.
Requires manufacturers of processed foods with nonlabeled ingredients to submit those contents to the FDA, which would then publish them online.
Creates a grant program for public or private nonprofit organizations to research critical areas like food biotechnology, nutrition, infant health, and ultra-processed foods.
Establishes a center within the FDA to study how nutrition connects with medicine, focusing on areas like weight loss drugs and food allergies.
Forms a partnership between the FDA and outside groups to share information about food packaging chemicals and recommend limits for them in food.
