Food chemicals would face stricter safety checks and regular reviews by the government.
This bill would make it harder for food makers to add chemicals to food without full safety checks. It would require the FDA to review all new and many existing food chemicals, and check their safety often. This means clearer rules and more information for the public about what's in your food.
Today, food manufacturers can often decide if a substance is "Generally Recognized As Safe" (GRAS) with limited FDA review. After this bill, manufacturers would need to meet stricter safety criteria, provide extensive data, and allow public comment. The FDA would also be required to actively review at least 50 GRAS notices annually and regularly reassess the safety of at least 10 food chemicals every three years.
