George Misko Quoted in Packaging Dive Online Newsletter on Potential Changes to Food Packaging Regulations under a Trump FDA

Keller and Heckman Partner, George Misko, was quoted in Packaging Dive online newsletter, “Trump’s FDA poised to make mark on food packaging regulation.” The article considers the changes that could be in the offing with the Trump nominees for Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F.
