Effect of shutdown on FDA continuing to operate.
Budget Director Mick Mulvaney indicates that there will be a minimum of interruption to government operation as he stated on Fox News Sunday today.
The administration will be making use of "carry over funds" for the use that they are intended to maintain operations as much as possible.

White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney tried Sunday to calm Americans’ fears about the government shutdown, vowing those going to work Monday won’t see a “dramatic difference” because President Trump isn’t trying to “weaponize” the situation like the Obama administration did in 2013.
“The effects won’t actually be as visible as they were as in 2013,” Mulvaney told “Fox News Sunday.” “Keep in mind that in 2013, the only way I can describe it, was the Obama administration chose to weaponize the shutdown. They wanted it to be showy. They went out of their way to hurt more people and to be more visible.”

Mulvaney argued the former administration put barricades in front of the WWII memorial, on the National Mall, arguably to keep out military veterans and to try to put the blame on Republicans.

Ninety year old veterans in the last years of their life made a trip to Washington D.C. to view their Memorial only to be greeted with barricades. I am a veteran and live in a retirement community that has sent a number of these veterans there. (Politics seems to mean more than respect for the citizens they are supposed to be serving.)
