The food and beverage industry is the largest in the world, accounting for annual sales of $4.6 trillion. But it’s also one of the most regulated industries in the world. In the United States there are more than 20 federal agencies responsible for an endless variety of food regulatory issues, including prevention controls, recalls, imports, organics, nutrition, pesticides, labeling, biotech, animal drugs, allergens, economic adulteration…. From USDA’s APHIS, FSIS and AMS to FDA’s CFSAN and CVM, it’s diffi cult to understand all the legislationin Washington, D.C.

And the enactment last year of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act – deemed the biggest legislative change to hit the food industry since the 1930s – only served to raise the stakes even higher.
