First it was spinach.  Then tomatoes, peppers, peanuts, even pistachios. And now it’s cookie dough. Every two hours, one person dies from a preventable disease caused by the food they ate.  Outbreaks have destroyed consumers’ confidence in the safety of the food they eat.

The food safety system must be modernized to build safety and accountability into the production of the food we buy. Congress is moving quickly on food safety legislation, but change won’t come without your help! 

The Food Safety Enhancement Act  is the best hope for making America's food safer. This bill would require the FDA to conduct more frequent inspections of food processing facilities.  It would also require food companies to develop and manage food safety programs and give FDA the authority to order companies to recall potentially contaminated food.

We need people to speak up in support of this bill.  Opponents are dragging out false rumors and old charges made against other food safety bills to attack this legislation.  (See our Action Alert on H.R. 875.)  The bottom line is they oppose the responsible safety and accountability measures in The Food Safety Enhancement Act and want to exempt themselves from its requirements.  Please contact your member of Congress to support the Food Safety Enhancement Act without weakening special interest amendments.
