The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing changes to its rules regarding how food manufacturers notify the agency of new ingredients entering the market. However, the proposal does not include a definition for 'ultra-processed foods,' which was expected to be provided earlier this year. While the new rules aim to close a regulatory loophole, they do not fulfill previous commitments made by the administration to significantly reform food regulations, particularly in light of ongoing foodborne illness outbreaks.
