“The food industry’s disarray in Washington has been simmering for a long time.

Companies are increasingly under pressure to find growth in a market in which more and more consumers are seeking healthier fare, whether they’re buying organic baby food, cereal without artificial colors or meats raised without antibiotics. These changing tastes are no longer considered just a niche market driven by high-income consumers.
