With increased government scrutiny over the past decade from both the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), the food & beverage industry has become one of the most regulated business sectors in the country. Our team has represented producers, processors, packers, manufacturers, vineyards, wholesalers, exporters, importers and distributors on a wide spectrum of issues including mergers and acquisitions, food safety, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), country-of-origin labeling, free trade agreements, import/export issues, alcoholic beverage control and dietary guidelines. From Fortune 500 companies to mom-and-pop operations, no project is too big or too small for our Food & Beverage team.
