The numbers are in and it’s clear the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) isn’t backing down from its use of stings. Avoid a government bite related to the sale of alcohol, tobacco, or other age-sensitive products by hiring The BARS Program to help properly train your staff and safeguard your brand’s reputation.
