EAS Consulting Group Strengthens Team with FDA Veterans

In a significant move to enhance its regulatory consulting capabilities, EAS Consulting Group has welcomed two former FDA professionals, Gabriel Muñiz and Adam Orr, to its team of independent consultants. This strategic addition aims to bolster EAS's expertise, particularly in the intricate realms of tobacco and animal feed regulations, making it better equipped to guide clients through complex compliance landscapes.

Introduction of New Team Members

Gabriel Muñiz brings a wealth of knowledge in regulatory compliance, honed during his tenure at the FDA as a Director within the Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA). His leadership in compliance and enforcement of the FDA's tobacco program has been pivotal. Notably, his contributions to establishing the tobacco operations program have led to the creation of vital compliance strategies and regulatory frameworks, including the proposed Tobacco Product Manufacturing Practices (TPMP). Following his time at the FDA, Gabriel furthered his expertise at Juul Labs by developing Premarket Tobacco Applications (PMTAs) and aligning with the evolving landscape of federal regulations concerning tobacco.

Adam Orr joins as a Certified Professional Animal Scientist and Animal Nutritionist, offering 15 years of experience amassed at the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine, focusing on animal food ingredients. His role as a Subject Matter Expert involved the pre-market review of animal feed ingredients and additives. Adam played an essential role in regulatory submissions related to animal food additives, safety protocols, and labeling, significantly contributing to documents like Food Additive Petitions (FAP) and Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) Notifications. His profound grasp of animal feed regulations and mastery in regulatory study design will be invaluable to clients in the animal food sector, further diversifying the consulting offerings of EAS.

Importance of Regulatory Expertise

Dean Cirotta, President and CEO of EAS Consulting Group, expressed enthusiasm over the new appointments, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome Gabriel and Adam to our team of independent consultants. Their remarkable backgrounds and extensive experience at the FDA and in the private sector will significantly enhance our ability to offer first-class regulatory support, especially in the tobacco and animal food sectors.” The addition of these two specialists is poised to significantly broaden EAS Consulting Group’s expertise and resources in crucial regulatory domains.

Gabriel and Adam will be instrumental in assisting clients with navigating the often-complex regulatory frameworks that govern tobacco and animal food, developing effective compliance strategies, and ensuring that their products consistently meet FDA requirements. This expansion of the EAS team not only enhances the company's capabilities but also aims to provide unparalleled support to its clients during compliance challenges.
