IFDA sent a letter urging the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to continue food inspections even if across the board federal budget cuts are enacted. The letter, which was signed by more than 30 food industry trade associations, pressed the agency to find other ways to deal with the budget reductions that would come on March 1. Meat and poultry processing companies operate under continuous USDA inspection and must shut down without an inspector. In previous government shutdowns, inspectors have been considered essential personnel and have continued working. The letter, which is available here, takes no position on the budget cuts themselves. If you are an IFDA member and would like more information please contact the IFDA government relations department.

Demand for big burgers at restaurants is falling, with "low-calorie" items rising to take their place, a new study by the Hudson Institute finds. (At our favorite chains, "low-calorie" is a pretty inclusive category.) In this study, it meant no more than 500 calories for entrees, 50 calories per 8 oz. beverage, and 150 calories for side dishes, appetizers, and desserts. So while apple slices and grilled chicken make the cut, so do McRib sandwiches at 500 calories and and Egg McMuffins at 300 calories. The report examines U.S. sales at 21 large restaurant companies, from McDonald's and Burger King to Applebee's (DIN) and Olive Garden (DRI). Sales of all "low-calorie" items increased by 472.4 million servings from 2006 to 2011. In addition to low-cal foods, beverages such as diet soda and coffee are also growing categories, reportedBloomberg BusinessweekFull Story
