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.

Special attention was given to New York’s proposed lead limits in spices and broader implications for the spice supply chain.
