FDA outlines plan to review safety of common food additives
SHARE

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) held a public meeting at its campus in Silver Spring, Maryland to address the issue of food additives and the lack of scrutiny they face once they are on the market. This meeting, which took place on Wednesday, drew a diverse crowd of food safety advocates, industry representatives, concerned citizens, and state and federal lawmakers, all with a common message: the current system is unsustainable and in need of urgent reform.

Food companies use additives to improve the color, texture, and shelf life of our food products. While some additives are considered “generally recognized as safe,” others may enter our food supply as unintentional contaminants from the environment or from food packaging. Despite mounting evidence of safety concerns surrounding certain additives, the FDA’s current regulatory framework does not provide adequate oversight once these substances are approved for use.

During the meeting, participants highlighted the need for the FDA to take a more proactive approach to evaluating and monitoring food additives. They emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety of these substances and called for greater transparency and accountability in the regulatory process. Many expressed concerns about the potential health risks associated with certain additives and urged the FDA to prioritize consumer safety in its decision-making.

The meeting also raised questions about the role of industry in the regulation of food additives. Some attendees expressed skepticism about the industry’s influence on the FDA and called for greater independence and objectivity in the regulatory process. Others emphasized the need for collaboration between industry stakeholders, regulators, and public health advocates to ensure the safety of food additives.

Overall, the meeting underscored the urgent need for reform in the regulation of food additives. Participants called on the FDA to take swift action to address safety concerns and enhance oversight of these substances. As the FDA considers potential changes to its regulatory framework, it will be crucial for the agency to prioritize consumer safety and ensure that all food additives undergo thorough evaluation before they are allowed on the market.
