Scientific Review of FDA's Draft Risk Profile on Spices

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.

ASTA issued a letter to the U.S. House of Representatives in June 2009 regarding concerns with several provisions in the Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009, including traceability and the country of origin requirement in the bill.
