Relevant food safety activities will be coordinated between CVM and the newly created Human Foods Program. “The restructuring announced by Commissioner Califf emphasizes the importance of the responsibilities of the Center for Veterinary Medicine to not only animal health, but human health as well,” said GADA Chair Stephanie Batliner. “Animal medications approved by CVM are used to treat both companion animals and food animals. GADA Member organizations look forward to continued interaction with CVM as we work to bring more affordable medications to market.”]]> Mon, 20 Feb 2023 15:40:00 GMT https://gada.site-ym.com/news/news.asp?id=639422 https://gada.site-ym.com/news/news.asp?id=639422 The FDA is communicating to health care professionals about serious risks associated with xylazine exposure in humans.
