Michael R. Taylor
Michael R. Taylor is an American lawyer. Since 2010 he has been the Deputy Commissioner for Foods at the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
==Early career==
Taylor received a B.A. degree in political science from Davidson College and a law degree from the University of Virginia. In 1976, after passing the bar examination, he became a staff attorney for the Food and Drug Administration, where he was executive assistant to the FDA Commissioner.〔Marion Nestle (Michael Taylor appointed to FDA: A good choice! ) Food Politics (Blog) 7 July 2009〕〔(Woodrow Wilson Center bio ) Woodrow Wilson Center, 19 September 2007〕
From 1981 - 1991 Taylor worked in private law practice at King & Spalding, one client of which was the biotechnology company Monsanto.〔Marie-Monique Robin: The World According to Monsanto〕 He established and led the firm's food and drug law practice.〔〔
In 1988 he published an article entitled "The De Minimis Interpretation of the Delaney Clause: Legal and Policy Rationale" in the Journal of the American College of Toxicology (now called the International Journal of Toxicology), which he had previously presented in December 1986 at a symposium on Topics in Risk Analysis, sponsored by International Life Sciences Institute Risk Science Institute, Society for Risk Analysis, and Brookings Institution.〔Taylor MR. ( The De Minimis Interpretation of the Delaney Clause: Legal and Policy Rationale. ) International Journal of Toxicology July/August 1988, 7: 529-537. (subscription required)〕 The paper was delivered and published during the midst of a debate and litigation over federal agencies' interpretation of the Delaney clause, a part of a 1958 federal law that prohibits any carcinogenic chemical from being added, in any amount, to food that is processed. As analytical instrumentation increased in power and more agents were found to be carcinogenic at very low levels, the agencies had developed a quantitative risk assessment approach to interpreting the Delaney Clause, which stated that if a carcinogen was present at levels less than 1 in 1,000,000 parts (1ppm), the risk of that carcinogen was "de minimis", and it could be allowed on the market.〔Merrill, Richard A. (Safety Regulation: Reforming the Delaney Clause" ) in ''Annual Review of Public Health'', 1997, 18:313-40. (27pp) --includes a historical review of prior food safety regulation.〕 In his article, Taylor presented arguments in favor of this approach. Advocates in favor of organic food have criticized Taylor for taking this stance and have attributed the stance not to a good faith effort to reasonably regulate, but to an alleged desire to benefit Monsanto financially.〔Jon Luoma . (Pandora's Pantry ) for Mother Jones. January/February 2000〕
