On October 5, 2009, the FDA announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) fresh produce chief Leanne Skelton will join the FDA to help develop new food safety rules, as part of a cooperative initiative between FDA and the USDA. Skelton has extensive experience working with the fruit and vegetable industry and will be on detail with the FDA for six months to help the agency develop new safety regulations for produce. Through the initiative, the FDA is gathering information and seeking feedback from the fresh produce industry, including small and organic farmers, on the impact such rules may have on their businesses and lives.
