Event

FDA’s regulatory reach touches more than 40% of all products in the market. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”) and its implementing regulations govern a variety of different product types.  This product oversight includes both generally recognizable product categories (drugs, medical devices,  food and vitamins, cosmetics) and some lesser-known ones (lasers, tobacco, pet treats and vending machine labeling).

This session will provide attendees with an introduction to FDA Regulatory Law and include a discussion of the FDA’s role in the U.S. and the FDCA; several universal industry requirements; and FDA’s enforcement activities and recommended strategies for mitigating that risk. Time will also be spent
taking a closer look at and analyzing three specific topics. These being the regulation of plant-based meat products and genetically modified organisms or GMOs; and dissection of what is a recall and why there are so many.

Presenter Background: Karl focuses on FDA regulatory law at Michael Best & Friedrich in the Firm’s Washington, DC office. He has practiced for 20+ and works with food, drug and device clients on strategies for legal compliance, product approvals and market entry. He is currently working out of the
