Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009
To establish the Food Safety Administration within the Department of Health and Human Services to protect the public health by preventing food-borne illness, ensuring the safety of food, improving research on contaminants leading to food-borne illness, and improving security of food from intentional contamination, and for other purposes.
Here is the full text of HR875
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h875/text
Local co-sponsors of this bill:
Tim Ryan (D-OH)
Marcy Kaptur (D-OH)
In response to the question about organic growers and the possible impact of this bill, the Congresswoman’s (bill sponsor Rosa Delauro) office responds “There is no language in the bill that would stop or interfere with organic farming. The National Organic Program (NOP) is under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Food Safety Modernization Act only addresses food safety issues under the jurisdiction of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).”
