STAT+: FDA chief calls agency’s food program ‘under-supported, under-resourced’
FDA Commissioner Robert Califf said the food side of the agency needs more attention Wednesday, the day after an agency-commissioned report recommended increasing the prominence of its food program.
[The FDA’s food program has] “been under-supported, under-resourced,” Califf said Wednesday at a Milken Institute conference. “Maybe the commissioners have all been medical people, so not so interested in that.”
