US proposes rule for food makers to notify FDA on 'safe' ingredients, defines ultra-processed foods.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services proposed a new rule requiring food manufacturers to notify the FDA when they determine an ingredient is "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS). This aims to increase transparency in the food supply amid concerns over heavily processed foods and recent foodborne illness outbreaks. The government also submitted its first definition of ultra-processed foods for review, part of a broader effort to address health issues linked to diet. The proposal does not require premarket approval but seeks to improve FDA oversight and public health outcomes.
