WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a recent blog post for FDA Voice, Michael R. Taylor, J.D. says that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has consistently made it a priority to base the agency's regulatory decisions on sound, cutting edge science. The agency also announced the addition of Dr. David White as the chief science officer and research director of the Office of Food and Veterinary Medicine (OFVM)
Taylor writes:
"We are marshalling our forces to work in the strongest, most effective way to keep the food that you eat, the food that you share with your family, free of dangerous levels of chemicals and bacteria like Salmonella, Listeria and E.coli.
We are prioritizing the work of our scientists in laboratories across the country based on which potential contaminants, such as disease-causing bacteria or chemicals, post the greatest risk to you."
