FDA pushing new regulations to shut down small-scale food producers

‘The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is attempting to sidestep an amendment to the infamous Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) that was originally intended to exempt small food producers from having to comply with excessively burdensome food safety protocols appropriate only for large factory producers.

The Alliance for Natural Health USA (ANH-USA) recently issued an “Action Alert” calling on the health freedom community to contact the FDA and demand that the agency relent in trying to pass a new rule that would make it difficult, if not impossible, for small-scale artisanal food producers to stay in business.

The proposed rule would subject all small food producers who don’t produce their food on a farm to the same onerous paperwork and compliance requirements outlined in FSMA for large-scale producers. Many of these small-scale producers would likely go out of business as a result, further widening the reach of the factory food industry.’
