The suspension of the FDA's milk quality testing program due to workforce cuts is deeply concerning. Ensuring the safety and quality of our food supply, especially dairy products consumed by millions, should be a top priority. Reliable testing for potential contaminants like pathogens is crucial to protect public health. I urge you to restore funding and staffing levels for the FDA's food safety division, including the reinstatement of vital quality control programs. Cutting corners on food safety oversight jeopardizes consumer confidence and risks potential outbreaks. The American people deserve robust safeguards and rigorous testing protocols for the products they consume. It is imperative that we have a properly resourced and fully functioning FDA to uphold food safety standards across the nation.
