@SGottliebFDA
- · [*retweet @hbottemiller] This morning at #wpc2019, @SGottliebFDA said he noticed NASDA is serving soy and almond milk w/coffee. He admitted to taking a photo of it, but promised to not post it on Twitter. "My staff restrained me." #ElevateAgAccelerateFood
- · Pleased to address #FDA’s state ag partners @NASDAnews on our recent steps to advance safety of produce, imported food, animal food, cell-cultured food, cannabis-derived products, use of terms like milk/cheese on plant-based products https://go.usa.gov/xEVmJ and our share goals
- · The #FDA/NASDA partnership remains especially important to #FSMA implementation. We’ve delivered on promises to offer training to farmers/regulators/states, and we’ve collaborated on new work streams, including a new inspection form and On-Farm Readiness Review program.
- · #FDA continues to work with farmers, produce industry, other stakeholders and we are considering lessons learned from recent food borne illness outbreaks and how we improve safety. We look forward to continuing our work with NASDA to ensure the safety of America's food supply.
@FrankYiannasFDA
- · THREAD: Pleased to address #FDA’s state ag partners - @NASDAnews - on how we continue to work together towards a new era of Smarter Food Safety through a people-led, FSMA-based, and tech-enabled strategy. Read more in @SGottliebFDA’s speech https://go.usa.gov/xEVmJ
- · I look forward to continued collaborations with our state ag partners as we work to uphold #FDA’s food safety mission in this increasingly complex and global food landscape. Alone, we can do so little; Together, we can do so much.
- · [*retweet @USFalumniAssn*] Frank Yiannas, MPH ’03, recently joined the @US_FDA as deputy commissioner for foods and veterinary medicine. Read about how his practice is his passion in his interview with @usfcoph: http://bit.ly/2BQ7JdW . #USFAlumni #ClassNotes
@SecretarySonny
- · US potato producers sell almost $2 billion worldwide — their top export markets include Canada and Mexico. #USMCA is on their mind and it’s important we get this deal ratified. Great to be with @ThisSpudsForYou today.
