In this LEVICK Daily video roundtable, we join members of the food law team at Hogan Lovells US LLP for an examination of the ways the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) will erect new compliance hurdles for food manufacturers and retailers. Associate Elizabeth Fawell, Associate Maile Hermida, and Partner Joseph Levitt – a former director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition – discuss a number of significant issues including: shifting the safety focus from reaction to prevention; new record-keeping standards; and ratcheted-up FDA enforcement efforts that could include penalties as harsh as registration suspensions that essentially pull a company’s license to make food.
