New deadline for comments on post-market evaluation of chemicals in food
USA
Nov 25, 2024
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is extending the comment period for its proposed systematic (89 FR 65633) process for post-market assessment of chemicals in foods. FDA will give stakeholders until January 21, 2025 to submit comments, which is an additional 31 business days from the previous December 6, 2024 deadline. Food and Drug Administration proposal seeks to proactively initiate post-market assessments of GRAS ingredients, food additives, color additives, food contact substances, and contaminants under its new Human Foods Program. FDA’s updated approach comes as multiple states propose legislation targeting additives and ingredients of public concern, such as “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) substances, synthetic food dyes, and other chemicals.
