The suspension of the FDA's milk quality testing program due to staffing cuts is deeply concerning. This vital program ensures the safety and quality of our milk and dairy products supply. Its suspension puts public health at risk by allowing potential contaminants or pathogens to go undetected. Reinstatement of this program is crucial to protect consumers, especially vulnerable populations like children and the elderly who are more susceptible to foodborne illnesses. Ensuring the safety of our food supply should be a top priority. I urge you to take immediate action to reinstate the milk testing program and provide the FDA with adequate funding and staffing to fulfill its critical food safety responsibilities. Public health and consumer confidence in our dairy products depend on it.
