Navigating Ever-Changing Guidelines and Growing Restriction Lists

August 27, 2025 by Kim Stewart

The food industry is going through some very interesting times. Not only are we up against constantly evolving tariffs, but we also have ever-changing MAHA and FDA guidelines to contend with.

 

The prohibition of Artificial Colors and Flavors are only one part of the puzzle. The evolving scrutiny on Preservatives, Sweeteners, Hydrocolloids, and more have made the puzzle far more challenging. Throw into the mix tariffs that change at breakneck speed and the process of formulating new products turns into somewhat of a Rubik’s Cube.

 

The most important lesson we’ve learned from all of these changes is that it’s imperative to remain nimble and ready to pivot at a moment’s notice. The way we address this at SIS is constantly working with and testing new ingredients, as well as natural replacements for synthetics. Finding suitable substitutes and solutions that work with functional requirements, as well as meet pricing requirements, is part of our normal business practice, and what sets us apart.

 

If you’re looking for a Fillings Supplier Partner who can help you weather the storm of ever-changing guidelines and tariffs, look no further. We’re ready to take on your new product development, product matching, product optimization projects, and ingredient replacement projects.
