/>i- On July 14, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced an extension to the public comment period for its proposed method for ranking chemicals in food for post-market assessments by 30 days from July 18, 2025 to August 18, 2025. Extension of the comment period had been requested by the Food Packaging Coalition, the Environmental Defense Fund, the International Food Additives Council, the Essential Minerals Association, and the Food and Beverage Issue Alliance.
- As previously discussed on this blog, FDA’s proposed “Post-market Assessment Prioritization Tool” would assign chemicals a score based on various public health criteria (e.g., toxicity) and “other” criteria (e.g., stakeholder attention). The score would then be used to rank post-market chemical assessment by priority.
- FDA continues to encourage public comments to respond to the questions regarding its methodology outlined in Section 4 of the method description document. Comments should continue to be submitted to Docket No. FDA-2025-N-1733. As of today, 31 comments have been submitted, but all appear to be from individual members of the public.
