Drug, Food Risks Stay Secret as Inquiries to U.S. FDA Pile Up
From Bloomberg:
The FDA's 20,365 unfilled [FOIA] requests for information exceed the totals for the departments of Defense and Justice. One company, FOI Services Inc., accounts for 44 percent of the backlog, according to the agency. Researchers, consumer groups and individuals say the delays limit their ability to alert the public to food and drug dangers and to hold the FDA accountable.
