For decades, food makers have been allowed to declare an ingredient safe without ever telling the FDA — and the agency had no way to track what chemicals were entering the food supply. A new proposed rule would end that voluntary loophole, though critics note companies can still bring products to market before any federal review takes place. The fight over what's really in your food is just getting started.

Investing.com-- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is piloting a program to fast-track approval of nicotine pouches from four major tobacco companies, in a move that could reshape the booming market for smoke-free alternatives, Reuters reported on Monday, citing meeting transcripts. The FDA plans to complete reviews of products from Philip Morris International Inc (NYSE:PM), Altria (NYSE:MO), Reynolds American -- part of British American Tobacco (LON:BATS) -- and Turning Point Brands (NYSE:TPB) by December, far quicker than the years-long process companies have faced, Reuters reported. Earlier this year, the agency cleared 20 Philip Morris pouches under its Zyn label after a five-year wait. Products in the pilot include an updated version of Zyn, called Zyn Ultra, as well as Altria’s on! Plus, Reynolds’ Velo mini, and Turning Point’s Fre and Alp. For items already sold without FDA clearance, approval would remove legal risks and potential enforcement, the report said. The initiative comes amid pressure from the Trump administration to accelerate authorizations and follows heavy industry lobbying. Nicotine pouches, inserted under the lip, are the fastest-growing U.S. tobacco category, the report added. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com.

Investing.com -- Argenx NV ADR (NASDAQ:ARGX) stock tumbled 6% after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified a potential serious risk associated with the company’s lead drug, Vyvgart. The FDA published a report highlighting a "severe worsening of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy" as a potential signal of serious risk with Vyvgart Hytrulo (efgartigimod alfa and hyaluronidase-qvfc) injection. The regulatory agency stated it is currently evaluating the need for regulatory action. Vyvgart is Argenx’s flagship product, approved for treating generalized myasthenia gravis, a rare autoimmune disease. The identification of this safety concern comes at a critical time for the company, which has been positioning the medication as a key growth driver. The FDA regularly monitors approved drugs for potential safety issues that weren’t identified during clinical trials. When a potential signal is detected, the agency conducts further investigation to determine whether regulatory action is warranted, which could range from label updates to more significant restrictions. Investors reacted to the news by selling shares, reflecting concerns about potential impacts on Vyvgart’s commercial prospects should the FDA determine that additional warnings or limitations are necessary.
