The FDA and other health organizations/associations heavily regulate many consumer products. How do you feel about that?
Unilever prides themselves on their high nutrition standards for their products. Meanwhile, in 2019, Unilever filed a petition with the FDA proposing that the food additive regulations be amended to provide for the safe use of potassium iodate in salt added to select food categories as a source of dietary iodine.
Unilever and the FDA don't wholly agree and don't necessarily share the same standards, but this is a nuanced issue. Objectively talk to the interviewer about your thoughts on consumer product regulation. Be sure to remain positive and avoid going on a rant if there are regulations with which you disagree. Keep your eye on the big-picture.
"I feel that strong regulations are essential for the protection of the consumer and the distributor. If I could change anything, I would wish for some approval processes to be more streamlined; however, I agree with most consumer product regulations."
"I feel that the FDA and other health organizations have our best interest in mind. I appreciate the regulations and the protection they provide for consumers."
