Executive Summary
Michael Taylor retires as deputy commissioner for foods and veterinary medicine on June 1, leaving behind a legacy of regulatory work under the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010. Taylor also was a key figure in the agency's past negotiations with industry on a legislative plan to modernize cosmetics oversight, and his departure could be felt by FDA and other stakeholders if current legislation of that nature passes.
