To provide the Food and Drug Administration needed authorities to carry out its regulatory mission with respect to human foods, to provide additional resources and authorities with respect to human foods research, and for other purposes.

This bill would create a permanent Advisory Committee on Human Foods to advise the FDA on food science, nutrition, and food safety. It would set up a competitive grant program for nonprofit groups to research topics such as food biotechnology, ultra-processed foods, infant formula, and dietary supplements, and would create an FDA center focused on nutrition and medicine. It would let FDA officials access and copy recipe and ingredient records from processed food businesses, other than farms and restaurants, and would require manufacturers to report ingredients not listed on labels, which the FDA would publish online. It would also exempt voluntary FDA research data collection from the Paperwork Reduction Act and create a public-private partnership to recommend limits on chemicals in food and food packaging.
