To provide the Food and Drug Administration needed authorities to carry out its regulatory mission with respect to human foods, to provide additional resources and authorities with respect to human foods research, and for other purposes.
This bill enhances the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) authority and resources concerning human foods, directly affecting food manufacturers, researchers, and consumers. It establishes a permanent Advisory Committee on Human Foods and a center of excellence for nutrition science, while also creating a grant program for critical research areas like infant nutrition and ultra-processed foods. The bill requires processed food manufacturers (excluding farms and restaurants) to provide the FDA access to recipe records and submit non-labeled ingredients, which the FDA must then publish online. Additionally, it directs the FDA to form a public-private partnership to address chemical limits in foods and exempts voluntary FDA research from certain paperwork reduction requirements.
