/>i- On September 25, 2024, FDA will hold a public meeting on the development of an enhanced systematic process for post-market assessment of chemicals in food. The Agency intends to share its plans and hear stakeholder perspectives on the proposal to help inform its thinking and further development of the process.
- The post-market assessment process will include ingredients considered generally recognized as safe, food additives, color additives, food contact substances, and contaminants. The process is intended to be transparent in identifying and prioritizing safety reviews of food chemicals currently in the market.
- This project is part of a larger enhanced approach for food chemical safety, which involves three key areas with corresponding objectives that complement existing food chemical safety monitoring programs, including:
- Expanding tools and methods used when conducting safety reviews and assessments to keep pace with scientific advances and technological innovations;
- Updating process to identify, evaluate, prioritize, and communicate new and evolving information to determine if reassessment of a chemical is warranted; and
- Continuing to monitor the food supply to ensure chemicals in food are present at levels that are not a risk to public health.
- The public meeting will have limited in-person attendance and virtual attendance. Information about how to register will be available later in August on the meeting page.
