For those of you interested in the Food Safety Modernization Act and the Food and Drug Administration Globalization Act, you might want to take a look at this comment left by John Serrao on a recent blog of mine.  H.R.875 is gone, replaced by H.R.2749 and it is moving through committee at a good pace.

John Serrao's blog on this is here.

H.R.2749, the Food Safety Enhancement Act, is here.

The biggest difference I found was that the FDA stays intact.  It's a good bill, especially if you are concerned about food safety. Concerns by small farmers and backyard gardeners were also addressed.  What is most astonishing, is that it was put together in a truly bipartisan fashion.

Will wonders never cease?

I hope not.

A great big Thank You goes out to John for bringing us this information!
