Arlington, VA – Today, FMI – The Food Industry Association congratulated Robert F.

FMI President and CEO Leslie G. Sarasin offered the following statement.
“HHS and FDA are critical agencies for ensuring the safety and affordability of our food and drug supply. FMI and our members congratulate the newly confirmed Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services and look forward to collaborating with Robert F.
