ATLANTA — State lawmakers are considering new food safety rules in Georgia, where a peanut plant has been linked to a salmonella outbreak that has sickened hundreds of people nationwide.
The Senate Agriculture Committee is to consider a bill Monday that would require food makers to alert state inspectors within a day if internal tests show a contaminant in a plant.
Those tests would be in addition to unannounced state and federal inspections.
