Hidden Additives Flooding The Food Supply
- The GRAS loophole let thousands of additives enter the food supply without full FDA review.
- Kyle Diamantas says FDA lacks a clear count or names for many ingredients and seeks regulatory reform.
Watch Regulatory Fixes Not Just New Laws
- Expect FDA to change regulations to tighten GRAS interpretations instead of rewriting law.
- Follow FDA rulemaking and congressional bills if you want to track or influence reforms.
Use Labels And Cook More At Home
- Read labels and use ingredient‑scanning apps to spot additives like titanium dioxide and BHA.
- Prefer whole foods and cook at home to reduce exposure to ultra‑processed additives.
