Foods Program Guidance Under Development
(Expected to publish as drafts or finals by the end of December 2025.)
Introduction
The following list of guidance topics includes possible new topics for guidance documents or revisions to existing guidance documents that the FDA’s Human Foods Program is considering.1 We currently intend to develop guidance on each topic; however, the FDA’s Human Foods Program is neither bound by this list of topics, nor required to issue every guidance document on this list. Several factors may impact FDA’s ability to issue the listed guidances, including, for example, new Administration priorities, emerging public health issues, or other extenuating circumstances. We are not precluded from issuing guidance documents on topics not on this list.
You may submit comments on the guidance topics at www.regulations.gov at Docket FDA-2022-D-2088.
