TSCA Upheaval: Fifth Circuit Vacates EPA Methylene Chloride Rule (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some 15 months after oral argument on September 15, 2026, a unanimous panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued its decision on the final methylene chloride rule in East Fork Enterprises Inc v.

No More GRAS Self-Affirmations? FDA Proposes Mandatory GRAS Notifications (opens the original)

Food Regulation Developments: Struggles to Define Ultraprocessed Foods (opens the original)
Read excerpt
State legislatures and federal agencies are showing a strong interest in defining and regulating ultraprocessed foods (UPFs), although no uniform definition has emerged.
