This webinar will provide an overview of the federal regulatory and state law changes related to the approval and labeling of food ingredients. Over the past few years, an increased number of states have enacted laws that seek to restrict the sale or place labeling requirements on foods that contain certain ingredients. This webinar will survey the enacted state laws and provide an update on related litigation. On the federal level, food ingredients have been a focus of the administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” Movement. FDA Actions, like proposing reforms to the “Generally Recognized As Safe” pathway, revoking approval of certain color additives, and creating a post-market chemical review process, have placed food ingredients at the forefront of national conversations. This webinar will provide an end of the year snapshot of the changing laws and regulations that govern food ingredients. Along with describing the landscape of changes that occurred in 2026, this webinar will forecast what may be ahead for the regulation of food ingredients in 2027.
