US HB7291

Establishes a GRAS Review Board under HHS to review food additive safety designations made by manufacturers prior to 2000 that were never formally submitted to or reviewed by the FDA

Board composed of 11 voting members from HHS, USDA, FDA, and EPA, plus 2 non-voting members (food toxicology expert and food industry representative), each serving 5-year terms without compensation

Requires food manufacturers to report all covered GRAS designations within 90 days of enactment; non-compliance may result in civil penalties or the substance being treated as an unapproved food additive

Reviews must be completed on a tiered timeline: Tier 1 (highest priority) within 2 years, Tier 2 within 4 years, and Tier 3 within 10 years, with results reported to Congress and published on FDA's website

Secretary may revoke GRAS designations found unsafe, with manufacturers given 180 days to provide scientific evidence before final revocation; the Board terminates 10 years after enactment
