/>i- FDA published a press release written by FDA Commissioner Marty Makary that highlighted his efforts to “make food healthier for children and families, accelerate meaningful cures and treatments, and modernize the agency with transparency, gold-standard science and common sense.”
- Highlights regarding the food industry included: (1) replacing synthetic food dyes with natural dyes, (2) improving infant formula, (3) expediting chemical reviews, (4) exploring rulemaking to require generally recognized as safe (GRAS) submissions, (5) revising broken dietary guidelines, and (6) defining ultra-processed foods.
- As an example of “gold-standard science & common sense,” Commissioner Makary also noted the convening of an expert panel to review health risks associated with talc, which we have written about previously.
- Relatedly, Commissioner Makary attended an interview to discuss his first 100 days, hosted by NewsNation, in which he largely talked about the FDA’s efforts to replace synthetic dyes. He also spoke about the approval of a new natural food dye, which was announced today, and emphasized that the FDA wants to “focus on food.”
- Keller and Heckman will continue to report on FDA announcements and updates that impact the food industry.
