Safe Food Coalition Asks U.S. House Committee to Prioritize Consumer Protections at FDA

The Safe Food Coalition submitted the following letter to leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Health in advance of their hearing titled “Evaluating FDA Human Foods and Tobacco Programs.” The letter expresses support for legislative proposals that will enable the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct remote inspections, better protect consumers from contaminated infant formula, and share information with state regulatory partners. The letter opposes legislation that would delay implementation of FDA’s final rule on Requirements for Additional Traceability Records for Certain Foods (Food Traceability Final Rule).
