The confirmation hearing for the head of the FDA saw food safety issues take a back seat. According to Food Safety News, the majority of the session was dedicated to other regulatory concerns.
Senators spent most of their time questioning the nominee on prescription drugs, vaccinations, and mifepristone. The discussion also covered the regulation of flavoured vapes, leaving very little time for food-related topics.
