2 A Few Clients 3 Presentation Overview Structure of Government History of Food Regulation Government Agencies with Roles Related to Food Regulations The Government Accountability Office (GAO) identifies 15 federal agencies administering no less than 30 laws related to food safety. Some agencies laws serve only an administrative role, while others stand at the heart of food regulation. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S Department of Agriculture s (USDA) inspection arm, the Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) compose the bulk of federal funding and staffing of our government s food regulatory system. Other agencies take minor responsibility for food regulation but are tertiary to the efforts of FDA and FSIS. 4 INSTITUTE OF FOOD TECHNOLOGISTS 2
3 Structure of Government The USA is a union of several sovereign states; sovereign that is to the extent allowed by the US Constitution. The Constitution plays three pivotal roles: 1. In its absence there would neither be federal agencies or federal laws. 2. In its absence there would be no grounds for any entity other than a state to regulate within its borders. 3. If never ratified, many individual rights and freedoms, such as protection from unreasonable search and seizure, would be missing. The Constitution, therefore provides a framework for federal regulation that plays a role in interstate commerce and individual and corporate freedoms and liberties. 5 Structure of Government The USA is a union of several sovereign states; sovereign that is to the extent allowed by the US Constitution.

4 History The FDA s authority over foods derives from the FDCA of 1938, which replaced the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906, prior to which there was a long history of ineffective state regulations in the US. Embalmed beef scandal so named because Commander of the Army described beef as having an odor like an embalmed dead body to Congress. Many claimed tainted meat killed more soldiers than Spanish bullets. Elixir of Sulfanilamide - toxic chemicals in products.
