"In theory, relying on states to do more routine food inspection work could lead to better food safety," said Thomas Gremillion, director of food policy at the Consumer Federation of America, in an email to CBS News.
Gremillion cautioned that a transition in how food inspections are done by the FDA would take significant time and resources.
"So far, this Administration has acted with reckless disregard for how its policies will affect the detection and prevention of foodborne illness, and any plans to replace federal food inspectors with some other workforce deserves suspicion," he said.
