Requires food manufacturers to disclose new food additives not reported to FDA.
This bill requires food manufacturers selling products in New Jersey to submit annual reports to the state Department of Health about new food additives not previously reported to the federal FDA. It directly affects food manufacturers by mandating detailed disclosure of safety certifications, chemical identities, manufacturing methods, dietary exposure estimates, and evidence supporting a "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS) status for each additive. Key provisions include requiring manufacturers to provide scientific data, usage specifics (like food types and quantities), and evidence of historical safety for additives used in new ways. The law supplements federal FDA requirements by creating a state-level reporting system for additives not already disclosed federally.
