A Senate Committee recently unanimously approved a
revamped set of US food safety laws, which, under the FDA,
also impact petfood.
The bill is expected to be on the Senate floor sometime next
year, according to
reports
.
The committee approved the legislation with just a few
changes:
- Authorizing the federal government
to fund increasing states' food safety
capabilities
- Whistleblower protections
- Requiring the government to consider organic
standards
The House earlier approved the same bill, which
would increase FDA regulatory powers, such as allowing it
to order a food recall.
