There’s been lots of speculation as to what the government shutdown means for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration — including various reports that our food isn’t getting inspected.

Just over half of the FDA staff members are still working. Those not furloughed are those who perform vital roles around the safety of human life, high-risk recalls, civil and criminal investigations, or certain activities authorized to be funded by carried-over industry user fees.
