The Health and Human Services Department has agreed to an industry-backed plan to effectively strip the FDA of oversight of certain genetically modified animals — the latest instance of Trump political appointees overriding the agency's scientists.
It's a move that would fulfill a long-sought priority for the livestock industry and big businesses on the Trump administration's final full day. Yet it comes after HHS overrode vehement objections from its own FDA, where officials had warned the agreement was illegal and could endanger public health.tweetedThe agency's career lawyers had already lodged several objections to the so-called memorandum of understanding, people with knowledge of the discussions told POLITICO.
Instead, HHS Assistant Secretary for Health Brett Giroir signed the MoU in his place — a move that further outraged FDA officials who"This is a last-minute Hail Mary," the senior HHS official said . "It is a total ceding of FDA authority to the USDA."
What the Eff
I tell ya, he's 'settin' fire to the oil wells' as he leaves....
If Sonny Perdue is praising it , it means their is money in it for him . Ag wants no rules no regulation .. safety is an obstacle to money . Where I live they get away with egregious pollution dumping in our lake . It’s criminal .
JUST BOYCOTT! We can find out who, what and where. Just because the Fed Gov changes the rules back does not mean they won't try to sell it. Stick up for the animals and ourselves.
Something else Biden should overturn.
Not happening. Lol.
number 5 billion on the list of very bad policy changes that Biden needs to get reversed.
