CFA Letter to Senator Stabenow on Farm Bill Amendments Affecting Food Safety
CFA writes Senator Stabenow as she develops the Manager’s Package for the Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2013 (S. 954), urging her to not include the following amendments as part of the Manager’s Package. These amendments would weaken our food safety system on which consumers depend to protect them from contaminated food. Two amendments would put consumers at greater risk of contaminated meat and poultry products. Four additional amendments would block or modify provisions of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), which was passed by Congress in 2010 with bipartisan support.
