Understanding FDA And USDA Requirements In Food Packaging And Labeling

Together, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) combine to regulate the vast majority of the food that Americans consume. The requirements and approaches of these two agencies differ in fundamental ways. Having dedicated counsel who understands the law and can help to ensure ongoing compliance can be extremely beneficial.

At the law firm of Eric F. Greenberg, P.C., we represent food producers and packaging manufacturers in a broad range of FDA and USDA regulatory compliance matters. We have a complete understanding of the regulations that impact food packaging and labeling, and we have extensive experience helping clients establish and implement comprehensive compliance plans.

Taking A Proactive Approach To Protecting Your Business Interests

A large part of our packaging law practice involves reviewing clients’ current compliance programs and recommending changes based on current laws.

The Long Reach of FDA Accusations

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.
