Trump shuts down food safety advisory committees


 

United States President Donald Trump has fired everyone working on two food safety advisory committees.


The United States Department of Agriculture notified members of the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods and the National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection that their committees have been disbanded. 


The memo said they should “immediately stop all work, meetings, everything. Any more recommendations are prohibited.”
