Rep. Louise Slaughter In Support of Food Safety

Each year, 76 million Americans are sickened from consuming contaminated food and 5,000 of these people die. In just the last few years, there has been a string of food-borne illness outbreaks in foods consumed by millions of Americans each day from spinach to peppers to peanuts, pistachios and cookie dough. This recent series of outbreaks of food-borne illnesses has demonstrated that they are not random, unpreventable occurrences, but are due to widespread problems with our current food safety system.

Today, the House passed the Food Safety Enhancement Act (H.R. 2749) to fundamentally change the way we protect the safety of our food supply. The new authorities provided to the FDA to better ensure food safety include more frequent inspection of food processing facilities, the development of a food trace-back system to pinpoint the source of food-borne illnesses, and enhanced powers to ensure that imported foods are safe.

The irony is the poison that kills people is the FDA approved chemicals they put in your food.

76 million people a year get food poisoning? That means every year one out of 4 people you know would get food poisoning. That's just math. It's been years since I've heard first-hand about someone getting sick from food. I've never had food poisoning. Statistically, I should have it once every four years. I'm calling bullshit. You are a liar.

Yes, it is all bull shit. They just want full control of your food supply because once they have that, they control you. Agribusiness benefits because now govt can force farmers to use their pesticides. Please study: "Codex Alimentarius". HR 2749 is being fast tracked because of this.
