Overhaul coming for FDA

Congressional Quarterly reports that John Dingell, who heads the House Energy and Commerce Committee, is planning a fundamental overhaul plan that is likely to form the model for a Democratic or Republican White House following the US elections later this year. Dingell plans more full time inspectors in the developing world, adding country of origin labeling and levying new user fees on manufacturers to finance spot checks at overseas drug plants and at US points of entry.
