Letter to Governor Hochul on Proposed Heavy Metal Limits for Spices in New York

ASTA submitted comments to the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) in December 2021 on FDA's Closer to Zero Initiative, expressing support for FDA’s mission to decrease childhood toxic element exposure through establishment of science-based federal action levels.

This is a letter from ASTA and other associations to the Governor of New York State written in April 2022 regarding class II recall limits for heavy metals in spices. The letter expresses concerns about the proposed recall action levels and requests a meeting with the office.
