Sam Jockel will speak on the panel “Environmental Challenges and Impacts on Product Safety” at this virtual conference hosted by the Food and Drug Law Institute. Heavy metals, man-made chemicals, and bacteria-contaminated water are just a few of the environmental hazards that impact food safety.
Panelists will survey current federal and state initiatives to combat these problems, including FDA’s Closer to Zero: Action Plan for Baby Foods, the proposed Agricultural Water Rule, and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state efforts to limit exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and pesticides.
