Improving Food Safety Won't Threaten Family Farmers

We need your help and support.  Congress is considering legislation to improve food safety, and prevent the massive outbreaks and recalls that have left many consumers uncertain about the safety of what they purchase and eat.  Recent events prove that Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 sicken thousands of people, and threaten the lives of children, elderly, and people with weak immune systems. 
 
Unfortunately, Internet rumors have led many people who support organic and sustainable agriculture to believe bills like H.R. 875 will curtail their ability to grow, sell, and eat organic and natural foods. That is untrue.  The bills will provide the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with the new authority and tools it needs to protect you and your family.

CSPI's goal is to protect the public’s health, and we need to stop the false rumors.  The best way to do this is to help people understand what is true about the bill and why CSPI supports it.  

Please contact your member of Congress and tell them to listen to common sense, not nonsense, and to support H.R. 875, the Food Safety Modernization Act!

Sincerely,
Michael F. Jacobson, Ph.D.
Executive Director
Center for Science in the Public Interest
