Another Food Safety Bill Headed to the U.S.
About one third of Americans are “very or extremely” concerned about food safety, with this percentage of people holding firm since 2007.

That’s why a new bill, on its way to the Senate, seeks to improve U.S. food safety.
The Food Safety Enhancement Act includes substantial revisions to previous food safety initiatives, such as implementing science-based standards for minimizing food borne contaminants, establishing an importer verification program, and setting up increased protection for whistle-blowers.
