On July 22, Perkins Coie Partner Larry Reichman and Associate Tommy Tobin presented a CLE program entitled “Food and COVID-19: Regulatory Approaches to Secure the Food System During the Coronavirus Pandemic” to the Practising Law Institute (PLI). This One-Hour Briefing covered topics ranging from food safety to securing food work environments. The program emphasized the substantial challenges facing food supply chains, especially given disruptions to foodservice operations and changing consumer demand. During the COVID-19 public health emergency, many state and federal regulators have adopted temporary changes to adapt to extraordinary conditions. The presenters explored what these changes were and whether certain changes might continue after the emergency period.
