In this episode of Lab to Table, host Mark Mantyla sits down with Anna Benevente, Director of Labeling Compliance and Regulatory Services at Mérieux NutriSciences, to unpack the complex and evolving regulatory landscape for food additives. From the potential end of self-affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) submissions to state-level bans on synthetic dyes and legacy chemicals, the food industry is facing unprecedented compliance hurdles. Anna breaks down exactly what these changes mean for national and private-label brands, the formulation challenges of swapping synthetic dyes for natural alternatives, and how FDA's new post-market assessment program could impact ingredients you’ve used for decades.
