Grocery Manufacturer’s Association (GMA) filed a petition with the US Supreme Court asking that it reverse DC circuit court’s decision to dismiss a challenge to EPA’s decision to allow gasoline containing 15 percent ethanol to be sold for cars manufactured in 2007 and later. The original suit alleges that EPA’s decision is not within the agency’s legal authority. GMA called the DC court’s decision procedurally unfounded, and said that consumers will ultimately pay the heaviest price for the court’s decision. “The original suit filed argued that EPA had exceeded its authority and violated the law when approving the use of E15; but more importantly, it put consumers at risk of food insecurity,” GMA said in a statement. “These facts have not changed. We continue to support this position and are now looking to the Supreme Court to overturn the decision of the lower court to ensure that GMA and the coalition’s arguments are heard.”
The Food Defense Strategy Exchange (FDSE) is a forum for food defense professionals to interact and share their knowledge and experiences.

In this podcast, Don Hsieh, Director of Commercial and Industrial Marketing at Tyco Integrated Security, discusses this topic and other findings from the exchange, and offers some best practices to proactively protect a company’s brand from food adulteration.
