The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced the filing of a petition from Leprino Nutrition. This petition proposes to change food additive regulations to allow the safe use of ultraviolet light to reduce microorganisms in whey products. The action is claimed to be exempt from environmental assessments as per the applicable regulations, unless exceptional circumstances arise. The petition was officially filed on November 22, 2024.
Simple Explanation
The FDA is thinking about letting people use a special kind of light called ultraviolet light to make milk-based products really clean by taking out germs, and they're checking if it's safe and okay for the environment.
