FDA says most food inspections halted amid shutdown

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says it has suspended all routine domestic food facility inspections amid the partial government shutdown. FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb told The Washington Post that he is putting together a plan to resume inspections of facilities that are deemed "high-risk." The agency, which oversees the majority of the country's food supply, typically conducts roughly 160 routine inspections per week, the Post reported.
