Policies and Programs concerning Antibiotic and Pesticide Residues in Milk¹

Bureau of Enforcement, Food and Drug Administration, U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Washington, D.C.

ABSTRACT

It is a real privilege and a pleasure to represent the Food and Drug Administration here today. It means much to me personally to be able to take part in this conference under the leadership of Dean Palm, a college classmate and long-time friend. Food and Drug Administration officials have come to know Dr. Palm as an outstanding scientist with a constructive approach and a high regard for the broad public interest. The State of New York is to be congratulated for having named him the Dean of the College of Agriculture of this great university.

The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938, at the time of its passage, stood as a landmark in modern food regulation. However, in the short span of 20 yr. a number of major amendments have been designed to keep the law in step with rapid technological developments. The last two such amendments were the Pesticide Amendment of 1954 and the Food Additives Amendment of 1958.
