> The Trump administration has proposed a rule aimed at changing how companies assess the safety of new food ingredients. Under the proposal, food companies would largely no longer be able to declare new ingredients safe without notifying the federal government. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is demanding greater transparency around the safety of food additives. The measure would give federal authorities more visibility into companies’ safety determinations.
