FPA Signs Coalition Letter Opposing New Jersey’s A-3069 – State Level Food Additive Requirements

On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we would like to respectfully express our opposition to this legislation, which requires food and beverage manufacturers to disclose to the New Jersey Department of Health when they have deemed a new additive to be “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) for use in food and beverages. This bill requires these manufacturers to provide a significant amount of information and data to the Department of Health, creating a new, separate statewide additive review system administered by the State. It would be extremely burdensome and expensive to the State, to manufacturers, and ultimately consumers.
