This panel will examine:

  • FDA’s increasing sensitivity to drug, biologic, and medical device shortages in bringing enforcement actions and employing the agency’s enforcement discretion, specifically addressing Ben Venue Laboratories consent decree and the DC Circuit FDA v. Cook decision; and 
  • Center for Food Safety v. Hamburg, as a case study in which FDA is the defendant and there is a tension between the agency’s statutory obligation to develop comprehensive food safety requirements and the agency’s obligation to promulgate the requirements promptly (by complying with statutory deadlines).
