Greetings Bertilled,
The biggest point here is to assess the risk posed by the possibility of your "failure" to track a change in legislation. An example could be the addition of a new raw material in the allergen lists (if I recall it is under discussion to add a couple more in the US, like sesame in 2023).
Simply put, if you hadn't predicted somewhere that you would make regular scans for updates then you risk missing something that has changed about a material. This could also be the highest concentration limit of a substance in end products, the ban of a raw material from use etc.
Yes it can be a simpler risk assessment but it is what it is!
However you can elaborate more on this, like taking into account micro/chemical parameters the FDA check for (according to legislation) when it sends samples of raw materials to its laboratories and see if you missed something which was added/removed/changed. It will possibly cross-ref with the RM for your food safety controls, but you may find something extra.
Hope it helps you get started,
Regards!
