Scientific Review of FDA's Draft Risk Profile on Spices

ASTA issued a comment to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2014 regarding the FDA's Draft Risk Profile on Pathogens and Filth in Spice.

ASTA sent a letter to to Chairman Dingell of the U.S. House of Representatives expressing support for ensuring the safety of the nation's food supply through a well-funded FDA while opposing certain provisions, including those of proposed taxes on food facilities and importers, facility certification requirements for all food imports, and new regulatory requirements such as labeling mandates and civil penalties.
