Food safety regulatory outlook for 2017

摘要

Forecasting the direction of food safety policy and enforcement may be difficult in the wake of any general election. The incoming administration will select its own team, and this team may bring new visions and perspectives to federal agencies and offices. Priorities may differ from those that informed the previous administration's focus and approach to regulatory affairs. This certainly may prove to be the case as the nation prepares for possibly wide departures from recent practice when Donald J. Trump is inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States on Jan. 20, 2017.
