Food & Safety Bill

President Obama is expected to sign the food safety bill Tuesday when he returns from his Hawaiian vacation.

On Tuesday, President Obama is suppose to sign a American's food safety system. The last food safety system created was in 1938. This would give the Food and Drug Admistration authority to impose new rules to prevent contamination and allows the agency to order, rather than simply suggest, the recall of tainted foods. It is also said that this is the first time the FDA will have this much power due to the science based policies. It also will would authorize the creation of a food tracking system to quickly pinpoint the source of outbreaks.The legislation requires producers to assess ways in which their products could be contaminated and to take steps to prevent such problems. It also requires importers to verify the safety of all foods they bring into the country.The result will be a fundamental shift in the FDA's approach to food safety from reacting to foodborne illness outbreaks to preventing contamination. It is mostly said that it will make breakfast, lunch and dinner safer for Americans but it will create higher food prices for people.





My opinion upon this bill is that I am glad President is signing this Bill. This bill is going to help save more people lives and the more people we have alive, the better it is for more things to be solved in this world. I also believe that this bill can sorta help shape American to become more healthier and to be more in shape and out of the "fat area".

This is my opinion and what is your opinion?

This was started off as a Public Opinion and had enough voices to be created into a bill. But it mostly has to do with the Food and Drug Administration.
