in contrast, fda review of prescription drugs relies solely within fda's jurisdiction. the additional steps for review for otc products add considerable time and do not add to the key determinations of safety and efficacy. let me provide just one example of the current systems' effects on public health. this april fda required that companies add the strongest form of warning label to children's prescription cough and pain medications containing codeine. the drug can cause potentially fatal breathing problems especially in children under 12. these safety concerns led an advisory committee to recommend that fda remove codeine from otc products in 2015 but fda has not made this change yet because of inefficient monograph system. when patients are in harms way we need action not bureaucracy. this spring pugh and several other public health stakeholders issued a set of principals for over the counter monograph reform. and the bipartisan legislation that you are considering would produce a win-win-win reducing regulatory burdens and protecting consumers in four key ways. firs

what fda agreed to revise the monograph more than a decade ago, today fda has yet to publish even drafthanges despite that they relate in thousands of overdose visits each year. it is our hope that through reform the fda will act to modernize the cough and cold monograph. we also must ensure that innovation made possible by otc reform does not have unintended negative consequences. one area where we anticipate greater industry innovation is in the development of formulation for otc product. it's possible that the industry may work on developing gummi formulations of drugs much like supplement manufacturers have done in recent years with their marketing of gummy vitamins. gummi formulations of otc drugs, whether intended for children or adults would greatly concerned pediatricians because we know when a product looked and taste like candy, children will eat it. if a child consumed gummi acetaminophen outside the watchful eye of parents, it would be a trip to the emergency room or worse. fda must have clear authority to regulate the packaging of otc drugs including requirements for unit d

what this bill would do is give the fda new tools to protect consumers and streamline how fda reviews over the counter medicine. i'm extremely glad you're with us again today to give us the same kind of guidance you gaf us in 21 century cures and other issues. we have a great opportunity to upgrade the regulatory process in a way that benefits all everybody. the american public, the federal government, and the regulated industry alike. i look forward to continuing to work with my colleague to support this bill. i thank you very much for holding this hearing. >> the gentlemen from texas yields back. the chair recognizes the gentleman from oregon. >> appreciate your holding the hearing on these important issues and the long over due reforms needed. to improve efficiency and update the frame work for regulating over of the counter drug products. following the reauthorizization of the critical medicine device programs. there's no better time to continue the work than now and in this space. i'm pleased with the by partisan effort that's begun. from cough and cold medicine to antipercent pe

the fda has an admitted agenda to foster biotechnology. whether it issues its policy, in may 1992, having received that input, claimed it was not aware of any information showing foods derived by genetic engineering differ from other foods in any uniform or meaningful way. it asserted there was overwhelming consensus among scientists the ge foods are so safe they don't need to be tested at all even though it knew no such consensus existed. the fda allow ge foods to enter the market without requiring a smidgen of safety testing. if the fda told the truth and disclosed extensive concerns of its own experts, the subsequent history of the ge venture would surely have been very different and might well have been very short. at the least, any ge food that did reach the market would have been subjected to much more rigorous testing to regulators anywhere in the world. that is one claim. what about the claim that no product with genetic engineering has ever been linked to a human health problem. that is also baloney. it is starkly at odds with rea

canadian regulators are almost as bad as the fda. just a bit better because canadians tend to be more polite and reasonable but on genetically engineered foods is unscientific, so corn which is more commonly referred to as maize in southern parts of the world. soy, well over 90% probably of the north american soy and corn crop have been genetically engineered. think of how many different foods, ingredients in soy and corn are in. canola seeds have been genetically engineered, most canadian crop your canola oil appears in many products and many products that report to be healthy foods because they think canola oil is better than other oils, but if it's not certified gmo free, which little is then it's probably been genetically engineered. significant proportion of hawaiian papaya crop has been genetically engineered. very substantial portion of the sugarbeet crop in the us has been genetically engineered, which means if you eat a product that says sugar, but doesn't say came sugar than its most likely came sugar which is in turn most
