So the FDA will lose power to regulate what type of food additives are allowed or not?
It makes sense IMO that orgs like the FDA or EPA regulates health safety issues instead of politicians.
Does this block that from happening?

If the FDA said no, Valvoline cannot use a specific additive to their motor oil, we would all scratch our heads and say that's not the FDA's job, and they don't have the authority to do that. Under Chevron deference the courts would defer to the FDA and say yes, they have the experts to decide these things, who are we to second-guess the regulatory agency?
With this Supreme Court decision, courts will no longer automatically defer to the agencies.
What this ruling changed is exactly that Congress now does need to be exhaustively thorough otherwise the courts decide the matter, not the agencies
Chevron deference says that when the delegation is implicit but not explicit then you defer to the agency. So in the FDA example, there is no implicit authority to regulate motor oil.
Especially concerning complex topics such as EPA and FDA. People (voters) don’t understand these topics and neither do politicians. So how can we expect politicians to regulate these complex areas?
Sounds like corporations will just start to own the laws that are being passed even more.
Which promotes further consolidation of power and detrimental health effects for the population.
