Exerpts from Washington Post

New authority to the Food and Drug Administration to regulate the way food is grown, harvested and processed.

Tainted food has cost the food industry billions of dollars in recalls, lost sales and legal expenses.

The legislation affects every aspect of the U.S. food system, from farmers to manufacturers to importers. The House bill calls for the FDA to set safety standards for farmers and manufacturers who process food. And it requires imported food to meet the same standards.

The legislation requires the FDA to sharply step up inspections. The FDA now inspects food facilities about ONCE A DECADE. The bill would also mandate inspections of high-risk facilities at least once a year and low-risk facilities at least every three years.

The agency would be able to recall food if it suspects contamination, instead of relying on the food maker to act voluntarily.
