Food Industry Ramifications of the FDA Cheerios Warning Letter

Sarah Sunday writes this excellent legal opinion explaining the background and ramifications of the FDA's warning letter to the makers of Cheerios, Is FDA Warning Letter An Ominous Signal To Food Industry? This is all about the FDA objecting to the statement that Cheerios can lower cholesterol levels. In a nutshell, she says:

"FDA's Warning Letter is a slap on the wrist in terms of the potential regulatory consequences. However, the letter could have a significant legitimizing effect on the pending California lawsuit, and in that way, could have costly implications for both General Mills and the food industry as a whole."

Drugs - Devices - Preemption - Explained Clearly

My hat is off to Matt Hotz, on the Pharma Compliance Blog, for writing this succinct and consumable post that even I can understand, Preemption and the Distinction between Drugs and Devices. I'm not a lawyer, so I've found this particular topic difficult to digest. Hotz' post got me up to speed quickly and expanded my understanding of the touchpoints to local, state, vs. federal law; and to the distinctions and nuances between drugs vs. medical devices. Now I feel that I can follow breaking preemption news with some basic foundational understanding. Thanks Matt!
