FDA 'Rewriting' Food Pyramid Guidelines
UNITED STATES, JUL 23 – The FDA aims to boost innovation by revoking 52 outdated food standards that no longer reflect current food science and consumer protections, officials said.
- Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it is revoking 52 outdated Standards of Identity for food products, including canned fruits, dairy, and baked goods.
- Many SOIs predate current ingredient safety, packaging and labeling requirements, explaining the FDA's effort to modernize food standards in line with Executive Order 14192.
- The FDA issued a companion proposed rule in its Federal Register notice, and public comments are being sought via Regulations.gov under Docket FDA-2022-D-2088.
- Industry stakeholders have offered mixed reactions, support and skepticism, with some companies scrambling to reformulate products after the FDA's color bans.
- At the same time, Congress is targeting the GRAS process with bills requiring mandatory FDA reviews and regular reassessments to improve ingredient safety and oversight.
