I was used to associate labels and certifications that mentioned approval by the FDA as a safeguard for human health. When the FDA changed its funding structure, I have changed my opinion and tend to see this certification as a reason not to trust products. 45 percent of the FDA’s budget comes from manufacturers seeking approval for food and drugs. The funding relationship between the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the companies that produce food and drugs is, to say the least, ambiguous. It raises concerns about conflicts of interest and potential bias in regulatory decision-making. The funding by the very industry that ought to be regulated, compromises the agency’s independence and lead to decisions that prioritize corporate interests over public health. When regulatory agencies rely on financial support from the industries they regulate, scientific evidence or public health considerations are second to generation of profit. To make things worse, there is the question of the revolving door between FDA employees and the pharmaceutical industry. Recent research findings , (https://lnkd.in/efZeHEBu), indicate that nearly 60 percent of FDA medical reviewers who leave the agency end up working for or consulting with pharmaceutical companies. evidence of a high rate of transition from regulatory roles to industry positions, potentially influencing regulatory decisions and fostering relationships that could compromise impartiality. #impartiality #neutrality #foodsafety #drugsafety #publicadministration #certification #pharma #pharmaceutical https://lnkd.in/es4WnFcc

"A significant milestone in the regulation of CBD has been achieved! In February 2021, a joint application was submitted to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) for the authorization of isolated cannabidiol (CBD) as a novel food. After a thorough evaluation by the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods and Processes (ACNFP), the application was approved. This means that CBD can now be used as a food supplement in the UK, subject to certain conditions and contraindications. This is a major step forward for the CBD industry and offers consumers a safe and regulated option. What are your thoughts on this development and its potential implications for the future of CBD products?" #CBD #novelfood #regulation #health #wellness Read More here: https://lnkd.in/eVjMvfYu
