## Summary

**Regular, mandatory reassessments of food substances.** This bill would require the FDA's Office of Food Chemical Safety, Dietary Supplements, and Innovation to run a recurring food safety reassessment program under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act with cycles at least every three years beginning in 2026. - Families and consumers: Each reassessment would review at least 10 substances or classes drawn from five categories, aiming to update safety determinations and any use conditions for additives, dyes, preservatives, and food-contact chemicals. The bill names initial candidates such as titanium dioxide, several synthetic food dyes, sodium nitrite, and perchlorate. - Food manufacturers and suppliers: The reviews could trigger regulatory changes like amended or repealed approvals, revocation of prior-sanctioned uses, or finding that a premarket notification for a food contact substance is no longer effective. - FDA operations and advisory process: The Office must prioritize by public health need and re-establish the Food Advisory Committee within 180 days to advise on reassessment standards and methods.
