AG, FOOD GROUPS REQUEST ADMINISTRATION TO USE "SOUND SCIENCE" WHEN RULE MAKING
Mar. 11, 2025
Agri-Pulse reports:
Farm and food industry groups are calling on the Trump administration's Make America Healthy Again Commission to use "sound science" in coming up with recommendations.
More than 300 groups signed on to the letter, which emphasizes the importance of pesticides, biotechnology, and food and feed products. It also "highlights the ways in which these products are already robustly regulated to ensure their safe use," the groups say in a news release.
"We are eager to share with the commission our significant concerns regarding unfounded criticisms levied against the safety of the food and agricultural value chain," says the letter, which was sent to Rollins, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.
The American Farm Bureau Federation, International Dairy Foods Association, American Soybean Association, National Association of State Departments of Agriculture are among groups that signed the letter.
