FDA Updates List of Chemicals in Food Under Review

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) updated its list of chemicals under the agency’s review on Aug. 19 to provide more insight on the status of the FDA’s post-market assessments of chemicals in the food supply.

The updated list includes food ingredients (including food additives and color additives), food contact substances and contaminants under FDA review. It now includes the date the FDA’s review was initiated, the date of the most recent risk management action and links for the public to provide input (where applicable).

The agency first published a list in July 2023 and updated it in March 2024. FDA said it will continue to update the list periodically.
