Food safety law makes one wonder

February, 2011

Eric F. Greenberg | Attorney-at-Law

A new food safety law is imminent at press time-unless it isn’t. The U.S. Senate passed its version over a year after the House passed it, and then it got sidetracked by procedural and political squabbles into mid-December. Assuming a bill gets made into law, perhaps even by the time you read this, and assuming it contains many of the key provisions that have been included so far, there is much to discuss, even as there will be even more once the bill is made law.

The Long Reach of FDA Accusations

The Long Reach of FDA Accusations

For those of you who think that regulators only pick on the small companies, have I got a story for you. And this story is also eye-opening if you have wondered who the government is most likely to go after when a problem arises, in a world of complicated chains of commerce involving multiple actors making and moving and bringing packaged products to market.

The short version of the story is that the Food and Drug Administration took action against Amazon for products sold on its website. Yes, that Amazon, the one with the big website where you can buy essentially everything for handy delivery. And this wasn’t the first time FDA has warned Amazon about products available on its popular website.
