What Does the Overturning of the 1984 Chevron Ruling Mean for Food Safety?
Food Safety Matters
Product liability and mass torts partner Sarah Brew spoke on the Food Safety Matters podcast regarding the overturning of the 1984 Chevron ruling.
On the podcast, Brew discusses how the Loper Bright decision could open up an avenue for the industry to challenge important FDA or U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) decisions, and the difficulties plaintiffs would face in actually challenging such decisions. She also speaks on ways in which the Loper Bright ruling might influence FDA and USDA rulemaking processes to prevent decisions from being challenged and ruled “unreasonable” in the future and the potential for inconsistent application of food regulations arising from court rulings made under the new Loper Bright standard.
