This bill would increase oversight of food additives that the FDA currently allows companies to determine are safe on their own, without formal FDA approval. The legislation would require the FDA to review these self-approved additives and establish clearer safety standards, giving the agency and the public more transparency about what chemicals are being added to food products. The changes would primarily affect food manufacturers and could lead to stricter rules about which additives are permitted in consumer foods.
