2025 Regulatory Workshop - Update on State Activity on Food Ingredients
States are increasingly enacting their own food ingredient safety laws, often exceeding federal standards and creating a patchwork of regulatory requirements for food manufacturers. This session provided an update on recent state-level activity, including bans on specific food colors and additives, new chemical disclosure and labeling requirements, and other ingredient-related legislation. Special attention was given to New York’s proposed lead limits in spices and broader implications for the spice supply chain.
