7 Everyday Risks to Your Health and Safety

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has long been responsible for ensuring the safety of the foods we eat, the drugs we take, and the products we use daily. However, recent staffing and budget cuts have put a strain on the agency, leaving many critical functions at risk. Here are some key ways in which these cuts may impact public health:

1. The FDA has paused a quality control program for testing fluid milk and dairy products, leaving inspection responsibilities to states. This could potentially lead to an increase in foodborne illnesses related to dairy products.

2. Without adequate staffing, the FDA may struggle to update databases tracking drug quality and supply chain information in real-time. This could result in delays in reporting potentially dangerous drugs and impact patient safety.

3. The FDA’s oversight of pet and livestock food safety, particularly in detecting bird flu, has been compromised due to staffing cuts. This could put both animals and humans at risk of contracting the disease.

4. Inspections of foreign facilities where food and drugs are manufactured may be reduced, potentially allowing unsafe products to enter the U.S. market unchecked.

5. Reductions in FDA tobacco enforcement staff could lead to an increase in teen smoking and vaping rates, putting young users at greater risk of tobacco-related diseases.

6. Slower drug approval processes and the shifting of clinical trials outside the U.S. may delay access to new medicines and treatments for American patients.

7. The FDA’s ability to ensure the sterility of drugs, such as eye drops, may be compromised, putting patients at risk of using contaminated or unsafe products.

These cuts have led to the firing of a significant portion of the FDA’s workforce, impacting the agency’s ability to protect public health effectively. Until staffing and oversight are restored, the FDA’s ability to safeguard the public’s health will remain compromised. It is crucial to address these challenges to ensure the safety and well-being of the American population.
