💡 Why it matters
If enacted, this could expose millions of Americans to cumulative low-level toxins in everyday foods, undermining decades of food safety protections.
The FDA is proposing to expand the 'threshold of regulation' exemption to allow toxic chemicals in food contact materials without safety review, as long as they are not carcinogenic and below 0.5 parts per billion. Experts are alarmed by this move.
