## Summary

This bill would create a **dedicated funding and governance framework to modernize FDA oversight of human foods and nutrition**. It would set up the Human Foods Innovation Account, a competitive research grant program, a Center of Excellence, stronger processed-food recordkeeping, and a public-private partnership on packaging chemicals. - Families and caregivers would see stronger standards and research focused on infant and maternal nutrition, infant formula safety, and the health impacts of ultra-processed foods and dietary supplements. - Researchers and clinicians would gain competitive Critical Research Grants and a HFP and CDER Center of Excellence to advance "food as medicine" research and coordinate nutrition communications in medical settings. - Processed-food manufacturers (not farms or restaurants) would need to let FDA copy recipe records and submit contents of nonlabeled ingredients like flavors and colors for Commissioner review and public listing. - FDA and policymakers would get a permanent Advisory Committee on Human Foods, an exemption for voluntary FDA research from the Paperwork Reduction Act, and a required public-private partnership on packaging chemicals with a report due within 18 months and then annually.
