Robert Califf: Moving our proposal forward is an exciting milestone in our ongoing modernization initiative

Robert Califf, Commissioner at US Food and Drug Administration, shared a post by U.S. FDA on X/Twitter, adding:

”Moving our proposal forward is an exciting milestone in our ongoing modernization initiative.

This is a unique moment in the history of the FDA. We began this journey knowing we had a real opportunity in front of us to make meaningful and lasting change.

By working to build a unified Human Foods Program and a more resilient model for our field operations, we also found ways to improve the way we work together as a whole – inside and outside the agency – to better meet our public health mission.”

Quoting U.S. FDA’s post:

”Today, the FDA is providing an update on its efforts to create a unified Human Foods Program and new Office of Regulatory Affairs model, including additional details about the proposed structure, status of activities and timeline for next steps.

These proposed changes will strengthen the agency’s ability to oversee and protect the human food supply and other products it regulates.

FDA’s proposed reorganization package is now under review at HHS.gov, which begins the formal external review process.

Following several remaining critical steps, the agency is hopeful implementation will occur sometime in calendar year 2024.”
