Food safety system is hard to swallow; by eschewing the traditional rule-making process, the EPA is forced to make quick judgments as to risk of pesticide residues

Article Abstract:

The Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 changed standards against which the EPA judges whether food is safe for human consumption, also imposing a series of deadlines for EPA re-evaluation of safety of pesticides already in the market and setting new hurdles for pesticide approvals. The law revises risk assessment models and the definition of residue safety levels, also, the EPA must group pesticides that threaten health by virtue of 'a common measure of toxicity.'

Law students can narrow down where they will interview by using firms' Web sites and gain more information about a firm when they actually interview.
