Publisher's Platform: This FDA official got it right (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have spent more than 30 years representing people sickened by contaminated food. I do not often read a speech by an FDA official and find myself agreeing with nearly every line. This week I did. Dr. Donna Garren, director of the Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Produce Safety, spoke on Sept. 15 at the annual meeting of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture in Portland, Maine. I could find only two outlets that covered it, Agri-Pulse and Lancaster Farming, and bot
Publisher's Platform: Want to Put Us Out of Business? Come Help Us Try. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Marler Clark has been suing the companies that poison people since 1993 — since a nine-year-old girl named Brianne Kiner nearly died from a hamburger. Sixteen years later it was Stephanie Smith, a children's dance instructor paralyzed by a hamburger, whose case put the grinding of American beef on the front page of The New York Times and won Michael Moss a Pulitzer Prize. Thirty-plus years later we are still the only law firm in the country that does nothing but foodborne illness — tens of thous
Publisher's Platform: The chronic disease groups have been in a different room, and they should not be (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yesterday I named the 30 organizations that work the acute side of food safety: the eleven that asked Congress last month to rescind the traceability rider; the groups that fight over chemicals and antibiotics; and the scientists, state regulators and educators who are not consumer groups but do the work anyway.

Publisher's Platform: September Is National Food Safety Education Month – Here are 30 organizations doing the work on the acute side (opens the original)
Read excerpt
September is National Food Safety Education Month. Most of what gets said about it concerns thermometers and washing your hands, and that is worth saying. What it leaves out is the year-round work of a few dozen organizations on the other end of the problem: the rules, the inspections, the research and the lawsuits that decide whether food is safe before it reaches a kitchen. With the largest Cyclospora outbreak in American history still being counted, this is the month to name them, one at a ti
Publisher's Platform: Harvard read the FRESH Act line by line (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic released a report on August 25, 2026 taking the first comprehensive look at the preemption clause inside the draft FRESH Act. Margaret Lynn and Emily Broad Leib conclude that a provision superseding any and all State requirements or prohibitions relating to the use, labeling, sale, or marketing of food would displace state additive bans, allergen and menu disclosures, heavy metal limits, PFAS rules for packaging, retail and restaurant inspection,
