🍬🔍 Calling all Chief Candy Inspectors (aka parents)! Before the kids dig in their Halloween goodies, check candy wrappers for tears, tiny pinholes, discoloration, or anything unusual. If something looks suspicious, toss it. Empowered, informed parents are the first line of defense for their children's health. That's what #MAHA is all about. 🎃 fda.gov/food/buy-store-serve…

The FDA is responsible for ensuring the U.S. seafood supply is safe, sanitary, wholesome, and properly labeled. To support the America First Seafood Strategy, the agency published draft guidance to help companies proudly and accurately label seafood of U.S. origin. If finalized, the guidance would provide examples of statements, such as “U.S.-Caught,” and graphics featuring the American flag to help consumers identify and choose U.S. seafood.
