/>i- FDA released a press release yesterday which announced it was either revoking or proposing to revoke fifty-two “obsolete and unnecessary” standards of identity (SOI) for various food products including SOIs for canned fruits and vegetables, dairy products, baked goods, and macaroni products.
- FDA published a direct final rule which revoked “standards for eleven types of canned fruits and vegetables that are no longer sold in U.S. grocery stores,” seven of which were for fruits containing saccharin or sodium saccharin. FDA also issued a companion proposed rule in case the direct final rule is withdrawn.
- FDA published two other proposed rules, which would revoke SOIs. One proposed rule would revoke SOIs for eighteen types of dairy products, while the other would revoke standards for twenty-three types of food products including “bakery products, macaroni and noodle products, canned fruit juices, fish and shellfish, and food dressings and flavorings.”
- The press release notes that this initiative aligns with President Trump’s Executive Order 14192 “Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation,” which requires executive agencies to identify at least ten existing regulations to be repealed whenever it “promulgates a new regulation.”
