The food and beverage industry is the largest in the world, accounting for annual sales of $4.6 trillion. But it’s also one of the most regulated industries in the world. In the United States alone there are as many as 20 federal agencies, from USDA’s FSIS and AMS to FDA’s CFSAN and CVM, responsible for writing and enforcing an endless variety of regulations. Food manufacturers, retailers and others confront regulations daily regard-ing labeling, the safety of imports, organics, nutrition, pesticides, biotech, animal drugs, allergens, economic adulteration … The list goes on and on…

And the enactment last year of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act – deemed the biggest legislative change to hit the food industry since the 1930s – only served to raise the stakes even higher.
