食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據(jù)美國食品安全新聞網(wǎng)消息，近日美國植保協(xié)會(huì)國家政策會(huì)議召開，剛剛卸任美國農(nóng)業(yè)部副部長的凱瑟琳.梅里根在會(huì)上表示，美國《食品安全現(xiàn)代化法案》（FSMA）可能會(huì)對中小型農(nóng)場產(chǎn)生負(fù)面效應(yīng)。

    梅里根認(rèn)為，F(xiàn)SMA條例對農(nóng)業(yè)以及工業(yè)產(chǎn)生的影響會(huì)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過人們的想象，然而有些時(shí)候，對于中小型單位來講，政府推行的政策在提升食品安全方面未必那么奏效。梅里根還表示，推進(jìn)轉(zhuǎn)基因標(biāo)識(shí)的行動(dòng)仍會(huì)繼續(xù)。

        Kathleen Merrigan, who recently left her role as Deputy Secretary of Agriculture at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, said this week she is concerned about the negative impact the Food Safety Modernization Act could have on small- and medium-sized farms.

    According to a report by AgriPulse, Merrigan made the remarks at CropLife America's National Policy Conference in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday. She told the audience that the FSMA regulations being developed have "the potential to transform, disrupt, improve and potentially destroy some operations."
