- FDA suspended dairy quality control program due to staff cuts — The FDA suspended a quality control program for testing of milk and other dairy products following dramatic staff cuts to the food safety and nutrition division by RFK Jr., who has already terminated 20,000 HHS employees. The Food Emergency Response Network (FERN) also suspended its quality control program for 170 food testing laboratories due to staff shortages. RFK Jr. has historically advocated for deregulation of raw milk sales despite historical links between unpasteurized milk and bovine tuberculosis transmission.
