Requires food manufacturers to disclose new food additives not reported to FDA.
S 3277 requires food manufacturers selling products in New Jersey to annually report new food additives they use that haven't been reported to the federal FDA. It directly affects food manufacturers by mandating detailed disclosures to the state Department of Health, including certification that additives meet "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS) standards under federal law. Key provisions require reports containing chemical details, manufacturing methods, dietary exposure estimates, and evidence supporting GRAS status, along with transparency about data availability. The bill aims to provide state regulators with specific information on additives not previously disclosed to federal authorities.
