华盛顿8月10日路透电 —— 美国食品药品监督管理局周一采取行动强化食品添加剂监管，这是特朗普政府“让美国再次健康”（MAHA）倡议的一部分。
唐纳德·特朗普总统与卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪一直在推动落实MAHA运动的部分优先事项，该运动曾助力肯尼迪2024年总统竞选，随后也帮助特朗普胜选，其中包括限制部分儿童疫苗接种建议。

据卫生与公众服务部消息，FDA周一发布一项拟议规则，要求食品生产商在认定某食品添加剂为“一般公认安全”（GRAS）时，必须通知该机构。
自1958年起，食品公司被允许自行确认食品成分安全，无需经过政府全面审查。FDA虽大力鼓励企业向其通报新的GRAS成分，但并无强制要求。
FDA表示，拟议规则将使这一通报成为强制要求，并扩大相关通报的公开清单范围。
FDA代理专员凯尔·迪亚曼塔斯在与记者的电话会议中表示，出台该规则是为了“提升食品供应链的透明度与消费者信心”。
迪亚曼塔斯称：“转向强制通报制度将填补数十年来存在的信息空白。”
卫生与公众服务部在一份新闻稿中表示，该部与美国农业部还已提交一份超加工食品的拟议定义，等待最终审核。迪亚曼塔斯告诉记者，该定义的更多细节将在后续公布。
迪亚曼塔斯还表示，FDA计划于周二发布针对鲜切农产品加工商的生物危害防控指南。近期影响生菜和 jalapeño 辣椒的沙门氏菌和环孢子虫疫情已导致美国数千人患病。

WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Monday took steps to increase oversight of food additives as part of the Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” initiative.
President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have worked to enact some priorities of the MAHA movement that supported Kennedy’s 2024 presidential bid and later helped elect Trump, like curbing recommendations for some childhood vaccines.

The FDA on Monday issued a proposed rule that would require food manufacturers to notify the agency when they deem a food additive to be “Generally Recognized as Safe,” or GRAS, according to HHS.
Since 1958, food companies have been permitted to self-affirm that food ingredients are safe without a full government review. The FDA strongly encourages companies to notify the agency of new GRAS ingredients, but they aren’t required to.
The proposed rule would make that notification mandatory and expand a public inventory of those notices, the agency said.
The rule is being undertaken to “increase transparency and consumer confidence in the food supply,” acting FDA Commissioner Kyle Diamantas said in a call with reporters.

“Shifting to a mandatory notification system closes a decades-old information gap,” Diamantas said.
HHS and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have also submitted a proposed definition of ultra-processed food for final review, HHS said in a press release. More details about the definition will come at a later date, Diamantas told reporters.
The FDA also plans on Tuesday to release guidance on minimizing biological hazards for processors of fresh-cut produce, Diamantas said. Ongoing outbreaks of salmonella and cyclosporiasis affecting lettuce and jalapenos have sickened thousands of people in the U.S.
