Brandon Neuschafer

Brandon Neuschafer’s practice draws on his diverse experience advising clients on operational, regulatory and environmental issues pertaining to the development, production, sale, and distribution of food, agricultural, and chemical products. He represents clients before a wide range of regulatory agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and state agencies.

Brandon’s deep experience with regulatory, transactional and litigation issues is enhanced by long-term arrangements with multiple clients during which he served as their “in-house counsel” to provide tailored practical advice. He regularly counsels on issues affecting regulatory pathways for novel and conventional ingredients and finished products, manufacturing (including Food Safety Modernization Act compliance), and food marketing claims, including labeling and advertising.

For two decades, Brandon has handled the regulation of pesticides, fertilizers and agricultural chemicals, with a particular focus on issues under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act and similar state laws. He has extensive experience with incident investigation and response, including industrial accidents, FDA Form 483, Warning Letter and inspection response, product adulteration, recall management, and the many customer, supplier, and insurer issues that can accompany such incidents.
