Part I examines the exceptional treatment given to small-scale producers and farmers. Part II discusses the heightened regulation of imported foods. Part III demonstrates that the decision to heighten import regulation while providing exemptions for small-scale producers was not predicated on a scientific risk analysis, and argues that this regulatory scheme leaves significant gaps in the food safety system.Food and Drug LawFDA Enforcement-Regulation of foreign commerce-Import-Food and Drug LawPaper (for course/seminar/workshop)2012-04-18
