- Excerpt from Applicability and Protected Activity:
Under the terms of the 2010 Amendments to the FSMA, an employee (or any other person acting for and on behalf of the employee) who provides information, or is about to provide information, to an employer, the federal government, or a state attorney general regarding an act he or she “reasonably believes” may violate the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, is protected from retaliation for the whistleblowing activity. Protection also exists if the individual testifies or participates in proceedings concerning violations of the Act or if he or she refuses to participate in activity that is reasonably believed to violate the statute.
