Episode Details

The FDA is cracking down on the “secret GRAS loophole” by requiring food companies to notify them before introducing new ingredients — a move that could finally bring transparency to what’s in your processed snacks, sodas, and meals. After decades of companies declaring ingredients “generally recognized as safe” without oversight, this proposal forces pre-approval notifications, giving regulators six months to review safety data. It also follows the agency’s development of its first official definition for ultraprocessed foods — a long-sought tool for health advocates hoping to curb chronic disease links tied to packaged goods. Public comment is open for 120 days as part of a broader effort to make America’s food supply safer and more accountable.
