Former FDA Leader Tells How Shutdown Will Impact Food Safety
Former U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Deputy Commissioner for Food and Veterinary Medicine Stephen Ostroff shared his thoughts about the current partial government shutdown—currently in its 32nd day—and its impact on food safety, according to a report by the agricultural news publication The Fence Post.
Ostroff’s comments were made at the International Dairy Foods Association’s 2019 Dairy Forum in Orlando, FL, this week. The original scheduled speaker—Agriculture Undersecretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs Greg Ibach—could not attend the event due to the shutdown.
