: Chicago Injury Lawyer BlogHouse passes food safety bill
The Washington Post (7/31, Layton) reports that by a 283-142 majority, the House passed the extensive food safety bill. The passing of the bill was perhaps expedited by the recent outbreak of salmonella in peanuts that has killed at least nine people.
This bill ?affects every aspect of the US food system,? placing, ?significant new responsibilities on farmers and food processors to prevent contamination before it occurs.? This represents a departure from past practices that relied on government inspectors to catch tainted food after processing.
Although the new legislation does not come without costs, as a Chicago personal injury lawyer, I support the initiative of the new food safety bill. More thorough and intense inspections both before and after processing will increase consumer confidence in food safety.
