Federal court concluded FDA could permit manufacturers to self-certify that chemical additives used in food they manufactured are safe, but acknowledged conflict-of-interest concerns about this practice and noted that the remedy to fix this situation lies with Congress.

FDA Removes 7 Carcinogenic Flavorings from Approved Food Additives List

FDA removes 7 carcinogenic flavorings from approved food additives list

Americans deserve food free from synthetic additives known to be carcinogens. The decision today by the Food and Drug Administration to remove seven such carcinogenic synthetic flavorings, variously used in drinks, candy, ice cream, and other foods, from its list of approved food additives is an important victory for consumer confidence.

Inadequate Oversight of the Safety of Substances Added to Food: What Went Wrong and How to Fix It

Most people would be shocked to learn that there is no government oversight of an estimated 1,000 substances added to food in the United States—and little oversight of thousands more.

Find out how CSPI — with allies—is challenging that absurd and risky situation.
