Which decisions made at the upcoming National Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments could mean changes to food safety regulation at Grade “A” plants? What impact could the expanded drug residue testing pilot program have on your dairy plant? What do the results from recent sampling assignments mean for ice cream and cheese plants?
Attend IDFA’s Regulatory RoundUP, June 12-13, in Washington, D.C. to learn the answers to these and other dairy food safety enforcement questions directly from the head of the Food and Drug Administration's dairy safety division. John Sheehan, director of the division of dairy, egg and meat safety at FDA, will outline his teams’ priorities, discuss findings from recent sampling assignments and preview upcoming policy changes specific to dairy.
“From a dairy food safety perspective, John Sheehan is arguably the most important regulator at FDA. He is well versed in the science involved in food safety, has the responsibility of developing dairy food safety policies and coordinates compliance programs for the inspectors who visit your plants,” said Emily Lyons, IDFA director regulatory affairs and counsel. “During his session at Regulatory RoundUP, he will not only be sharing insights with us, but is interested in hearing directly from you about your concerns and comments as a dairy plant professional. His session promises a perfect opportunity for companies to weigh in on dairy regulations and sampling assignments.”
