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. Our knowledge of the ongoing changes to the law allows us to provide the most meaningful advice possible and ensure that all pertinent considerations have been addressed.

5 Bold Predictions

By Eric F. Greenberg, Attorney-at-law

Columnists are expected to make predictions when there’s a new President, so here are five observations about packaging-related developments we’ll see from the new administration, and especially the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA):

1. Who can tell? It’s tough to tell exactly which of the new President’s promises will be incorporated into actual changes in regulations or law because often they are contradictory.
The new President promises wholesale cuts in regulations (as if fewer is always better than more) but also suggests aggressive new steps relating to what’s in Americans’ food, which certainly sounds plenty regulation-y.
