FDA Extends Comment Period for Proposal on Prioritization of Post-market Assessments of Chemicals in Foods

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a 30-day extension of the comment period for its proposed method prioritizing chemicals in the food supply for post-market assessment. FDA released its proposed method for ranking chemicals in the food supply on June 18, 2025, and requested public comments on the proposal. The comment period was originally scheduled to close on July 18, 2025; however, in response to requests for additional time for stakeholders to review the proposed method and submit comprehensive feedback, FDA is extending the deadline to August 18, 2025.
