The Illinois Manufacturers’ Association (IMA) released the following statement about SB 93, which is scheduled to be heard in the Senate Public Health Committee this afternoon:
“This legislation sets a dangerous precedent for food regulation by bypassing the scientists at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and giving politicians the ability to make determinations on food safety,” said Donovan Griffith, Vice President of Government Affairs for the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association. “The FDA has a stringent process for evaluating food safety that has been proven to work. Illinois should not undermine these safeguards. Food safety should be left to the experts.”
