A proposed rule has been announced to strengthen oversight of food ingredients. Manufacturers will be required to notify the Food and Drug Administration about additives deemed "generally recognized as safe" and provide information on existing additives. The move is seen as a first step in addressing the issue, but critics argue it does not go far enough.

They claim it will not prevent new ingredients from being added to foods, nor will it remove existing additives. Further details on the proposed rule and its implications are available from the source. The rule aims to address a loophole that has allowed additives into food with minimal oversight, an issue that has been raised by individuals such as RFK Jr.
