AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Ultra-processed food fight: New U.S. scrutiny is targeting the 1958 GRAS loophole, with federal data showing ultra-processed foods make up 55% of adult calories and nearly 62% for kids—sparking a push to revoke GRAS status for refined carbohydrates. Food safety crackdown: Maharashtra’s food regulator has shut restaurants and suspended 100+ licenses after hygiene and expired-ingredient findings, while India’s FSSAI also moved against misleading labels and promotions. Dairy M&A: Lactalis agreed to buy Saputo’s UK dairy business for about £988m, adding major cheese and spread brands and five manufacturing sites. Supply chain & resilience: The Philippines’ agriculture department estimates over ₱1bn in losses from recent storms, while Malaysia launches large-scale local grain maize cultivation to cut import dependence. Food industry infrastructure: The Philippines is accelerating a Clark mega food hub to streamline storage, processing, distribution and food-safety testing. Packaging & compliance: EU-focused reporting highlights how recycled food packaging needs tighter controls on chemical migration as regulations tighten. Seafood sector support: The U.S. USDA tapped UMaine’s Local Catch Network to lead outreach for its Office of Seafood. Regional food innovation: Africa’s indigenous grains are gaining traction in gluten-free baking, turning millet, sorghum and cassava into premium products.
