More than 100 years after we enacted the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 and more than six years after we enacted the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, Americans should not be sickened or dying from the food they eat.
Congress should pass the Safe Food Act, which I first introduced in 2015 with Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) — and plan to reintroduce in the coming months — in order to streamline inspections, enforcement and labeling into a single food safety agency. Through this legislation, we can provide consumers with a single agency dedicated to monitoring and preventing foodborne illnesses.
