Explicitly creating a program exclusively for catfish seems to be unnecessary, and it directs resources away from high-risk foods.

Both the FDA and the General Accountability Office agree that there is no food safety justification for this regulatory divide.

It seems illogical that the USDA would be given the exclusive authority to oversee and regulate catfish only while the FDA regulates all other seafood.

This seems to smack of food politics, not public health.
