One thought on “Scathing report urges major changes at FDA, including possibly breaking up agency

  1. While they make updates to the FDA, they should also update the oversight requirements to include housewares (e.g., plates, bowls, etc.) and nutraceuticals. It is hard to imagine that the same rules for disposable food packaging currently regulated by the FDA does not apply to non-disposable items that come in contact with food. Also, present regulations allow the FDA to step in on nutraceuticals only when an issue arises; how many people have to get sick or die before this happens?
