The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed a new rule that would require food manufacturers to notify the agency before introducing new ingredients or additives. This change aims to close a long-standing information gap, allowing the FDA to better monitor the U.S. food supply, which currently includes an estimated 10,000 additives. While this is considered a significant first step, most self-affirmed "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) ingredients will still not undergo FDA review. Additionally, the FDA has completed a definition for ultraprocessed foods, which has been submitted to the White House for review, potentially leading to increased scrutiny and future restrictions on these products.
