The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is moving to tighten oversight of food ingredients as safety concerns mount, CNBC Markets reports.

HHS will also define ultra-processed foods in the context of broader food safety questions, with attention turning to whether FDA oversight has been sufficient, according to the report.

The changes are being framed as a response to growing uncertainty around how food ingredients are monitored and classified, particularly for ultra-processed foods.
