@SGottliebFDA
- Ø Today’s #FDA #SundayTweetorial is personal. I look back at what we've accomplished at FDA to advance innovations to benefit patients, promote policies to protect consumers, and address public health challenges during the two years I've shared these experiences with my colleagues.
- Ø FDA made great strides protecting and promoting public health the past two years, thanks to the dedication and scientific prowess of our talented workforce. While this is my last week at FDA, I’m confident in the future, and proud to have shared these and other efforts with them.
- Ø Over the past two years, we’ve also supported a number of major legislative efforts: To secure a more modern framework for the efficient regulation of diagnostic tests https://go.usa.gov/xEJ6B , to reform how over-the-counter drugs come to market…
- Ø ...and to reauthorize two animal drug user fee programs that enhance our ability to maintain a predictable, timely animal drug review process, foster innovation in drug development, expedite access to new therapies for food-producing and companion animals https://go.usa.gov/xEhXJ
- Ø The Food Safety and Modernization Act of 2011 (FSMA) greatly enhanced #FDA’s ability to fulfill its critical role of protecting the food supply through an emphasis on preventing risk. During my tenure we’ve worked hard to implement #FSMA https://go.usa.gov/xEhXH
- Ø One area where #FDA can have a profound, generational, and transformative impact on human health - outweighing any single medical innovation or intervention that we could discover - is through advances in nutrition and diet.
- Ø Our 2018 Nutrition Innovation Strategy https://go.usa.gov/xEJA5 seeks to reduce preventable death and disease caused by poor nutrition by ensuring that consumers have accurate useful info to make healthy food choices and also by fostering the development of healthier food options.
- Ø Poor nutrition plays a role in heart disease, cancer and obesity and yet about 75% of the population has a diet low in vegetables, fruits, dairy and healthier oils; and most Americans exceed the recommended intake of added sugars, saturated fat and sodium https://go.usa.gov/xEhba .
- Ø #FDA also has efforts underway to bring oversight of the exploding dietary supplements market into the 21st Century. Our current initiatives are aimed at protecting the public from bad actors without burdening responsible companies https://go.usa.gov/xEhjC .
- Ø Our Action Plan advances policy priorities we’ll pursue to clarify our science-and-risk-based approach for product developers; avoid unnecessary barriers to innovation in plant and animal biotechnology; and advance safety and our public health mission https://go.usa.gov/xEhDZ .
- Ø Other parts of #FDA are adapting to cutting-edge technology as well. Consider the promising new technologies that can edit animal and plant genomes with the potential to improve human/animal health, food productivity, animal well-being and food security https://go.usa.gov/xEJPG .
- Ø Honored to join Mark McClellan this morning at @pewtrusts to reflect on the strength of #FDA and the enduring nature of the policy work that underpins its mission. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/gottlieb-reflects-his-tenure-before-joining-club-ex-fda-chiefs
@FrankYiannasFDA
- Ø [*retweet @uwaltoncollege*] The FDA's Frank Yiannas speaks this morning at #blockchain conference sponsored by the Blockchain Center of Excellence at Walton College and @UArkansas #BeEpic @FrankYiannasFDA

Presidential Message for Winning on Reducing Food Waste Month
@SGottliebFDA
- · The #FDA will be finalizing our homeopathy guidance soon, outlining our risk based approach to enforcement. We’re increasingly concerned by a proliferation of homeopathy products that don’t offer any demonstrated benefits and create risks to consumers. https://wholefoodsmagazine.com/suppliers/news-suppliers/fda-issues-warning-letters-for-cgmp-violations/
- · THREAD: #FDA is announcing a funding opportunity that’ll help target and define durations of use for certain medically important antimicrobial drugs in the feed of food-producing animals. The grants may provide up to $1.5M
- · The aim is to help generate publicly available data that sponsors of affected approved animal drug applications can use to update product dosage regimens to better target when and for how long their drugs may be used.
- · Defining more targeted durations of use supports our ongoing efforts to slow the development of antimicrobial resistance and helps preserve the effectiveness of these antimicrobials in both veterinary and human medicine. Learn how to apply here: https://go.usa.gov/xmqVk
@FrankYiannasFDA
- · The funds we’re requesting will help us leverage new and emerging technologies to create a more digital, traceable, diverse, and safer food system. #smarterfoodsafety https://t.co/Y93wwXdmvG
@FDASpox
- · FDA posts warning letters to four companies who manufacture homeopathic drug products for significant violations and quality issues with their products. https://go.usa.gov/xmqdD
