FDA Modernizes Dietary Ingredient Definition, Signaling Stricter Enforcement and Innovation in Food Technology

FDA Modernizes Dietary Ingredient Definition, Signaling Stricter Enforcement and Innovation in Food Technology

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is actively working to modernize its definition of dietary ingredients, particularly in response to advancements in food technology such as precision fermentation and cell culture technology. This initiative is part of a broader push by the FDA's Human Foods Program (HFP) to enhance enforcement and update regulations within the food and supplement industries. The agency's placement of dietary supplements under the Office of Food Chemical Safety, Dietary Supplements & Innovation indicates a strategic shift, framing supplements as a 'risk pillar' rather than a niche category. This signals a serious intent for stronger enforcement and modernization across the board. Concurrently, state-level regulations are emerging, creating a fragmented compliance landscape as states address perceived gaps in federal oversight. The FDA is also considering closing the Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) loophole, which currently allows companies to self-affirm GRAS status without a...

Volkswagen Group of America Recalls Over 208,000 Vehicles for Steering Defect

Volkswagen Group of America Recalls Over 208,000 Vehicles for Steering Defect

Volkswagen Group of America has initiated a recall of more than 208,000 vehicles in the U.S. due to a significant steering system defect. The recall primarily affects 2018 Volkswagen Atlas and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan models, which represent the first model-year of their respective generations, as well as 2019-2021 Audi Q3 crossovers. The core issue stems from a crucial mounting component where one of the bolts securing the steering rack to the subframe can corrode and eventually snap. Should this bolt fail, the steering rack housing itself can break, leading to a sudden and complete loss of steering control. This defect substantially increases the risk of a crash. Volkswagen and Audi dealerships are instructed to replace the right-side steering rack mounting bolt free of charge for all affected vehicles. Owners will be notified directly by mail to schedule the necessary service appointment.

FDA and USDA Collaborate on Federal Definition for Ultra-Processed Foods Amidst Industry Scrutiny

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) are jointly working to establish a federal definition for ultra-processed foods (UPFs). This initiative has garnered significant attention from various stakeholders, including farmers, food manufacturers, retailers, and consumer advocates. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has scheduled or completed 15 meetings to discuss a white paper titled “Proposed Definition of Ultra-Processed Food.” This document aims to create consistency in research, policies, and programs related to UPFs. While the white paper itself does not impose mandatory warning labels or product reformulation requirements, it is expected to serve as an influential reference point for future food policies. The debate centers on how much emphasis should be placed on processing methods, ingredient functions, and nutritional composition. Industry groups, such as the National Pork Producers Council, are advocating for the protection of processing methods ...

MaaT Pharma Shifts Focus to U.S. Clinical Trial for MaaT013 Following Negative European Regulatory Opinion

MaaT Pharma Shifts Focus to U.S. Clinical Trial for MaaT013 Following Negative European Regulatory Opinion

MaaT Pharma, a clinical-stage biotechnology company, announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) maintained its negative opinion regarding the Conditional Marketing Authorization (CMA) application for MaaT013 (Xervyteg®). This decision, following a re-examination, concerns the treatment of acute Graft-versus-Host Disease (aGvHD) in adult patients with gastrointestinal involvement refractory to prior lines of therapy. The CHMP's view is that the available clinical data, based on a single-arm trial, does not sufficiently characterize the benefit-risk profile of MaaT013. Consequently, MaaT Pharma will now prioritize advancing its U.S. development plan for MaaT013, focusing on a randomized controlled Phase 3 trial named PHOENIX. Feedback from a Type C interaction with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) supports the advancement of PHOENIX as a registrational Phase 3 trial, with potential first patient enrollment in the first half of 2027, c...

Aptitude has announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for its next-generation Metrix COVID Test. This marks the company's first FDA 510(k) clearance and signifies a continued expansion of the Metrix molecular diagnostics platform.

The updated COVID test offers substantial improvements over the original Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)-authorized product, providing approximately three-fold greater analytical sensitivity and 30% faster results. Development of this technology was supported by federal funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).
