#FDA reminds parents don’t feed honey to children younger than 1 year after honey pacifiers suspected in 4 Texas infant botulism cases. Botulism is a rare but serious illness caused by toxin that triggers difficulty breathing, muscle paralysis, even death https://t.co/NdSjREScTG

#FDA is looking forward to partnering with @USDA to advance innovation in cell cultured meat and poultry https://t.co/qRvMXRVuqS

RT @SecAzar: New data show an epidemic of e-cigarette use among youth. While e-cigarettes can potentially serve as an off-ramp from combustible tobacco for adults, we can’t let them become an on-ramp to n

There’s still time to share your thoughts on labeling for plant-based products with names that include “milk” “yogurt” and “cheese.” We’re intending to extend the comment period on our request for information to the end of January. To share comments: https://t.co/AjtlOZDU7l https://t.co/DvUeRL8HV9

Washington Post: “FDA must walk a fine line between restricting sales from minors and discouraging adult smokers from transitioning off traditional cigarettes onto e-cigarettes, which are not risk-free but are certainly lower-risk than combustible tobacco” https://t.co/qaGmKJHXVp

While not a new approach, the importance of One Health is increasing as we become more connected. One center in #FDA that perfectly exemplifies the philosophy is the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), whose mission statement is “Protecting Human and Animal Health.” https://t.co/vTHcdrmRT5

In this week’s #FDA #Sundaytweetorial, I’m going to reflect on the intersection and connectedness of veterinary and human health, and FDA’s commitment to the #OneHealth philosophy – that the health of people, animals and the environment are intertwined. https://t.co/xsccFykNFN

In the animal drug approval process, CVM evaluates the safety and effectiveness of a product for the animal itself, the drug’s impact on the environment and on people giving the drug or in contact with it https://t.co/CUmdhtms8I. https://t.co/ZewDezbX83

CVM, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, is tasked with ensuring that both animal food and drugs are safe to protect not only the animals who receive them, but the people who care for them and are exposed to these products – both directly or indirectly. https://t.co/UseVLTuDtz

And when we’re talking about animals, it’s not just pets or food-producing species; CVM also regulates food and drugs for exotic animals, aquaculture and many more through its Minor Use Minor Species (MUMS) program https://t.co/AmeDL7bGWn.

Aquaculture is becoming an increasingly important source of food available for human consumption. As the number of aquaculture facilities grows, so does the need to develop safe and effective drugs for treating fish diseases https://t.co/DnHsFGfAat. https://t.co/StDXQsaxbk

This month, we approved the first drug to reduce ammonia gas emissions from an animal or its waste. Novel animal drugs with an indication like this embody One Health https://t.co/4o35gbuSKo.

Until lately antibiotics were used in animals both to protect against disease and bring animals to market faster but this can contribute to antimicrobial resistance in bacteria that may be transferred to humans, potentially making these drugs less effective to treat human disease

As a result, combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a subject of an earlier #FDA #SundayTweetorial, is a key priority for FDA, especially CVM, which recently released a 5-year action plan for antimicrobial stewardship in veterinary settings https://t.co/DT0ANPiOoD. https://t.co/OI8MUZLj9r

A main tenet of CVM’s approach is supporting the judicious use of antimicrobials in food animals. Medically important antimicrobials should only be used in animals when necessary to treat, control, or prevent specific diseases.

CVM takes steps to ensure that when a food-producing animal is treated with a drug, unsafe residues of the drug are not present in food products derived from that animal (i.e., meat, milk, & eggs).

For example, CVM issued an animal drug safety alert after AERs revealed that altrenogest, a synthetic progesterone drug for horses or pigs, may cause reproductive disorders and other issues in people who treat or come into contact with these animals https://t.co/gD0lJrs3BD. https://t.co/314JOL6u70

CVM monitors the safety of animal drugs and issues alerts and presses for recalls when there's a public health hazard to humans/animals. Adverse event reports (AERs) from mfrs, vets, and caretakers can be extremely useful in bringing safety issues to light https://t.co/0ZkaaJPHx4
