Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) wrote to U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Margaret Hamburg on Monday to ask for more information regarding the agency’s efforts to curb the overuse of antibiotics in food animal production.
The senators called Guidance #213 and the proposed rule on Veterinary Feed Directives (VFDs) “important first steps” but said they “remain concerned that they may not be sufficient.”
