European Union Food Law Update, Emilie H. Leibovitch May 2008

European Union Food Law Update, Emilie H. Leibovitch

Journal of Food Law & Policy

The following European Union Food Law Update will address significant changes in European Union (EU) food law that occurred between 2006 and early 2008. The update will be different from the previous ones, as it will instead be organized by the subject areas addressed by the developments. The published regulations, proposals, cases, and other relevant news will thus be incorporated under their corresponding topic headings.


Jumping On The Next Bandwagon: An Overview Of The Policy And Legal Aspects Of The Local Food Movement, Marne Coit May 2008

Jumping On The Next Bandwagon: An Overview Of The Policy And Legal Aspects Of The Local Food Movement, Marne Coit

Journal of Food Law & Policy

This article is an exploration of this new and growing local food movement. It is not a cohesive movement, nor is it one that is organized by a particular group. Rather, it is a grassroots movement comprised of people who are interested, for various reasons, in obtaining food grown or produced where they live or in producing this food themselves. The purpose of this article is to explore what the local food movement is, why consumers are interested in basing their food purchasing choices on where their food originates, current and future regulation of local food, and where this movement …

Dangerous Interpretations Of The Precautionary Principle And The Foundational Values Of European Union Food Law: Risk Versus Risk, Miguel A. Recuerda May 2008

Dangerous Interpretations Of The Precautionary Principle And The Foundational Values Of European Union Food Law: Risk Versus Risk, Miguel A. Recuerda

Journal of Food Law & Policy

In their ordinary lives, many people try to avoid any situation involving risk that could cause themselves harm. On the other hand, others assume risk with greater facility because they are not sufficiently aware of it, or because they know that the probability of resulting damage is very low. Overwhelming worry in the face of any kind of risk would be paralyzing (we would not leave the house, eat in any restaurant outside of our home, drive, or fly). On the contrary, an attitude absolutely heedless of risks would end up causing innumerable damages, some of them irreparable. Common sense …


Disestablishing "The Last Plantation": The Need For Accountability In The United States Department Of Agriculture, Seth L. Ellis May 2008

Disestablishing "The Last Plantation": The Need For Accountability In The United States Department Of Agriculture, Seth L. Ellis

Journal of Food Law & Policy

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) was signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862. At the signing ceremony, President Lincoln declared the Department of Agriculture to be the "people's Department" because he said it governed an industry "in which [citizens felt] more directly concerned than in any other. .. ." Today, many American citizens do not share Abraham Lincoln's view of the USDA as being the "people's Department"; rather, they identify it as being "the last plantation" due to its long history of open discrimination against African-American farmers. While this discrimination has occurred throughout America's history, perhaps …


United States Food Law Update: Food Safely Planning, Attribute Labeling, And The Irradiation Debate, Bryan Endres May 2008

United States Food Law Update: Food Safely Planning, Attribute Labeling, And The Irradiation Debate, Bryan Endres

Journal of Food Law & Policy

This article summarizes significant changes and developments in food law throughout the second half of 2007. The previous edition of the Food Law Update noted the recent increase in imported food and the resulting stress placed on food safety agencies and customs officials. Detailed inspections of every food shipment entering the United States would quickly exhaust limited agency resources and cripple efficient international trade of food products. On the other hand, after several well-publicized food scares and the ongoing threat of international contamination, the public increasingly demands high levels of physical surveillance. As a part of this ongoing discussion, this …

Giving The Terminally Ill Their Due (Process): A Case For Expanded Access To Experimental Drugs Through The Political Process, Linda K. Leibfarth May 2008

Giving The Terminally Ill Their Due (Process): A Case For Expanded Access To Experimental Drugs Through The Political Process, Linda K. Leibfarth

Vanderbilt Law Review

The stated purpose of the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA" or "Agency") is "to promote and protect the public health." In furtherance of this end, the FDA has created a regulatory framework to ensure that drugs marketed to the general public are both safe and effective. However, critics insist that the FDA's paternalistic drug approval process does little to achieve its goal. At the onset of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, criticism of the FDA intensified, as the FDA's lengthy and expensive drug approval process hindered terminally ill AIDS patients' access to potentially lifesaving treatment. Advocates for these patients …

The Sentencing Commission Takes On Crack, Again, David Yellen Apr 2008

The Sentencing Commission Takes On Crack, Again, David Yellen

Articles

We may be entering a new era of drug sentencing policy. For the first time, an effort by the United States Sentencing Commission to reduce the disparity in treatment between crack and powder cocaine offenders by somewhat reducing crack sentences has succeeded. Decisions of the United States Supreme Court, culminating most recently in Kimbrough v. United States and Gall v. United States, have clarified and expanded the flexibility federal judges have in sentencing under the post- United States v. Booker advisory sentencing guidelines. Political leaders have begun to accept the need for relaxation of at least some of the …


The Best Pharmaceuticals For Children Act And The Pediatric Research Equity Act-Helping Or Hurting America's Children?, Lisa Jerles Apr 2008

The Best Pharmaceuticals For Children Act And The Pediatric Research Equity Act-Helping Or Hurting America's Children?, Lisa Jerles

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The note examines the effectiveness of the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act (BPCA) and the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA), which were enacted to address the lack of pediatric-specific drugs and devices. While these laws have improved the availability of pediatric treatments, they face significant challenges, including short authorization periods, loopholes exploited by pharmaceutical companies, and ethical concerns related to clinical trials. The 2007 reauthorization and the addition of the Pediatric Medical Device Safety and Improvement Act have partially addressed these issues but highlight the need for further reforms to ensure safer and more effective pediatric care.

Addressing The Global Tragedy Of Needless Pain: Rethinking The United Nations Single Convention On Narcotic Drugs, Allyn L. Taylor Jan 2008

Addressing The Global Tragedy Of Needless Pain: Rethinking The United Nations Single Convention On Narcotic Drugs, Allyn L. Taylor

O'Neill Institute Papers

The lack of medical availability of effective pain medication is an enduring and expanding global health calamity. Despite important medical advances, pain remains severely under-treated worldwide, particularly in developing countries. This article contributes to the discussion of this global health crisis by considering international legal and institutional mechanisms to promote wider accessibility to critical narcotic drugs for pain relief.


Improving Post-Approval Risk Surveillance For Drugs: Active Post-Market Risk Identification, Matthew Gordon Jan 2008

Improving Post-Approval Risk Surveillance For Drugs: Active Post-Market Risk Identification, Matthew Gordon

Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review

Pre-approval clinical trials cannot possibly ensure that a drug will not have disastrous side effects once it arrives on the market. Post-approval drug safety data gathering was put in place to address this problem, but as implemented, it has not proven to be as effective as hoped. Congress recently overhauled the legislation regarding post-approval drug risk identification, and in doing so made a deliberate decision to put much of the burden of post-approval drug surveillance on the FDA through data mining. Further, the legislation gave the FDA the power to require post-approval clinical trials from drug makers only in limited …


Loco Labels And Marketing Madness: Improving How Consumers Interpret Information In The American Food Economy, Margaret Sova Mccabe Jan 2008

Loco Labels And Marketing Madness: Improving How Consumers Interpret Information In The American Food Economy, Margaret Sova Mccabe

Law Faculty Scholarship

America's current food labeling scheme, as illustrated by the example of salt, is flawed when examined from the consumer and public health perspective. While the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act has sound scientific standards, those standards as currently applied to labels do not efficiently signal health information to consumers. Without better information on labels, consumers will continue to make poor choices at the grocery store. However, there are promising new ways to label. Both the United Kingdom and the domestic supermarket chain Hannaford’s have implemented simple health labeling on food packaging or grocery shelves to improve the amount and location …


Combating The Unfair Competitive Edge: Random Drug Testing Should Be Implemented In Standardized Testing To Deter Illicit And Unfair Use Of Prescription Stimulants, Shawn Romer Jan 2008

Combating The Unfair Competitive Edge: Random Drug Testing Should Be Implemented In Standardized Testing To Deter Illicit And Unfair Use Of Prescription Stimulants, Shawn Romer

Journal of Law and Health

This note will first give an overview of prescription stimulants and will then explore the prevalent number of students who illicitly take prescription stimulants to enhance their academic performance. A description of how illicit use can be harmful to a student follows, and thereafter the note describes the scant current safeguards that currently exist against the use of illicit prescription stimulants. An explanation of the importance of standardized test scores to admissions follows, along with a description of how this importance has motivated students to seek an unfair competitive edge through illicit drug usage, which happens in many sporting competitions. …

An Intellectual Property Food Fight: Why Copyright Law Should Embrace Culinary Innovation, J. Austin Broussard Jan 2008

An Intellectual Property Food Fight: Why Copyright Law Should Embrace Culinary Innovation, J. Austin Broussard

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

In the United States, dining has become an increasingly popular form of leisure and entertainment, generating an estimated $537 billion in 2007. However, dining represents only one aspect of the modern food economy; cooking and dining are regularly featured in newspapers and magazines, while celebrity chefs tout their own brands on television. Eating has been transformed from a mere perfunctory activity into big business. Increasing competition for the attention and money of restaurant patrons has prompted chefs of grande cuisine to differentiate their menus by creating unique dishes. The time and labor that chefs sink into this form of innovation …
