By: Frank Yiannas, Deputy Commissioner for Food Policy and Response At the dawn of 2021, I find myself looking back at what the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Foods Program was able to accomplish in 2020, a historic year marked by unprecedented challenges in both our personal and professional lives. I’m struck by how tirelessly our team members have worked together to help ensure the continuity of the food supply chain and to help keep food workers and consumers alike safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their commitment has not wavered in a time when we’re all dealing personally with the impact of the pandemic on our families, schooling our children from home and taking care of elderly parents.
