David Acheson to Speak at IFT Food Laws Luncheon

The Institute of Food Technologists Food Laws and Regulations Division annual business meeting and luncheon, Monday, June 30 at the IFT Annual Meeting in New Orleans will feature David Acheson, M.D., the FDA Assistant Commissioner for Food Protection (see related article).

Acheson is charged with offering strategic and substantive counsel to the FDA commissioner on food safety and food defense matters. Acheson is an accomplished speaker and has been at the center of the FDA response to a number of food protection issues. One of Acheson's first projects has been the development of an agency-wide, visionary strategy for food safety and defense. The strategy will serve as the framework in helping the agency prioritize and address food safety and defense challenges.

This is a ticketed event. Tickets can be purchased along with your Annual Meeting and Food Expo registration or on-site up to two days prior to the event at the IFT ticket desk in the registration area.
