California AB2034 regulates food additives and ingredient disclosures to enhance food safety.

California AB2034 mandates that food additives and dietary ingredients be considered unsafe if they induce cancer or are found to be unsafe after appropriate tests. The bill requires manufacturers to submit notices to the California Department of Public Health for any new food additives or ingredients introduced after January 1, 2027. The department can issue licenses for these substances if no safety concerns are raised. The bill also requires the department to create a public database of submitted notices, ensuring it is searchable and user-friendly.
