Non-profit: Congress Needs to Build a Modern Food Safety System

Center for Science in the Public Interest urges Congress to enact comprehensive farm-to-table reform.

WASHINGTON — Import legislation under consideration by the House Energy and Commerce Committee (H.R. 3610, the Food and Drug Import Safety Act) would be valuable, but would still only partially solve the food safety problems threatening Americans, according to a new white paper published today by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest. In it, CSPI reviews a dozen food safety bills being considered by Congress.
