FDA Amends Food Standards to Allow Salt Substitutes in 139 Products

FDA Amends Food Standards to Allow Salt Substitutes in 139 Products

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a final rule that permits the use of salt substitutes in 139 foods with existing standards of identity (SOI). Previously, these SOIs either required or allowed the addition of salt (sodium chloride) but did not explicitly permit the use of salt substitutes. This regulatory change is designed to provide food manufacturers with greater flexibility to reduce sodium content in their products. The FDA's action aligns with its broader multi-phase Voluntary Sodium Reduction Goals, which aim to encourage the food industry to gradually decrease sodium levels across the U.S. food supply. The amendment addresses a long-standing limitation where specific SOIs, which detail required and optional ingredients and sometimes production methods, restricted the use of alternatives to sodium chloride.

New Research Indicates Regenerative Organic Food is More Nutritious Than Conventional Counterparts

New Research Indicates Regenerative Organic Food is More Nutritious Than Conventional Counterparts

A new report from the Regenerative Organic Alliance (ROA) and food-testing company Edacious reveals that food grown to Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) standards is measurably more nutritious than conventionally grown food. Lab analyses of dozens of ROC products showed higher levels of omega-3s in ground beef, increased phosphorus content in legumes, and a significantly lower omega-6 to omega-3 ratio in meat compared to USDA reference values. For instance, ROC ground beef exhibited 124% to 388% higher omega-3 levels than the USDA reference. Additionally, all ten legumes tested demonstrated 16% to 584% more phosphorus than their USDA counterparts, with some also qualifying as rich sources of selenium. This research, which is in its first year of a four-year partnership, aims to provide concrete data supporting the claim that healthier soil leads to healthier food. Brands like Niman Ranch, Patagonia Provisions, Lundberg, and Charcutnuvo are participating in this testing, which goes beyond standard nutrit...
