Original: FDA may allow some toxic chemicals to be added to food without safety review Article URL: https://www. theguardian.com/u

A Guardian report says the FDA may permit certain toxic chemicals to be added to food without a formal safety review, under regulatory pathways that let companies self-certify ingredients as safe. The report is drawing criticism from food-safety advocates and debate online over loopholes in US food chemical oversight and what changes to the review process would mean for public health.

Why now: Concerns about food-safety regulation and regulatory loopholes are circulating widely right now.
