The Trump Administration Wants More Food Ingredient Disclosure
A new proposed rule would make companies reveal when they add new substances to food.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has called for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to require food companies to disclose new ingredients in their products to the agency. This comes after a 2026 analysis revealed that at least 111 chemicals had been added to foods without FDA approval. The new rule, if enacted, would require mandatory filings for any new chemical added to a food sold to consumers.
The proposal now faces a lengthy rulemaking process and potential legal challenges from the food industry. While food industry experts view it as a positive step, they question its effectiveness without increased FDA resources for review and enforcement.
