WASHINGTON, Feb. 19, 2025—"In response to a reduction in workforce at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a coalition of consumer, industry, and public health stakeholder groups issues the following statement: “Ensuring the safety of our nation’s food supply is a shared responsibility,” the coalition stated." https://lnkd.in/ejdhyyvB

???? Yesterday, in a resignation letter, Jim Jones, FDA Deputy Commissioner for Human Foods, stated that 89 “indiscriminate” firings in the Human Foods Program, including layoffs of employees with “highly technical expertise in nutrition, infant formula, food safety response,” would render his job to protect food safety “fruitless.” ??

Each December we host an?annual fundraiser in honor of Kevin’s birthday — he would have been 26 on December 10th! — to support our efforts to improve food safety and prevent unnecessary illnesses and deaths from foodborne diseases. These funds have previously supported the Center for Foodborne Illness Research and Prevention, which has since evolved into the Institute for Food Safety and Nutrition Security (IFSAN) at the George Washington University. Our vision and mission remain focused on protecting public health and preventing illness by advancing food systems that consistently and equitably provide safe, accessible, and nutritious food for all. We will continue to prioritize translating scientific research into actionable policy and practice. This year our goal is to raise $10,000 toward an endowment that will provide sustainable funding for our work. We'll use the money we raise to support student research projects and student travel to conferences like the International Association of Food Protection Annual Meeting. As always, we’d greatly appreciate your support – either through a donation or by sharing through your social and personal networks. Together, we can make a difference in food safety!?? Best, Barb
