CALL YOUR SENATOR TODAY.
DO NOT ALLOW #S-510 to pass in any form
and attached to any legislation during the Lame Duck.
Watch for an end run to see if Industry can still score.
There is a lot of behind the scenes pressure from
internationals for the legislation to get passed,
sez Keep the Beet, who does remote viewing
of her own plant-based kind.
I WILL GO WITH THIS PETITION

FUNDING OF #S-510
WOULD COST $1.4 BILLION
http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/117xx/doc11794/s510.pdf
FDA agents would visit high risk places once every five years
to make sure they are o.k.
Well that certainly sounds like it will solve
food borne contamination, and only for 1.4 billion.
What a great solution to the problem of Big Ag
food producers contaminated system.
FROM THE DOCUMENT
510 also would require the FDA to inspect registered domestic food facilities on a riskbased
schedule beginning on the date of enactment. In meeting the inspection
requirements specified in the bill, the Secretary of HHS would be able to recognize other
entities to conduct inspections, including federal, state, and local officials, and agencies
and representatives of foreign countries. The frequency of the domestic inspections
would be determined by the risk category of the facility:
A “high-risk” facility, as determined by the FDA, would be a facility that
manufactures or processes food and would have to be inspected at least once in the
five-year period following the date of enactment, and not less than once every
three years thereafter; and
A “non-high-risk” facility would have to be inspected at least once in the sevenyear
period following the date of enactment, and not less than once every five
years thereafter.
The bill also would require the FDA to inspect no fewer than 600 foreign facilities in the
first year following the date of enactment. The FDA would be required to double the
number of foreign inspections in each year thereafter.
Based on the inspection schedule specified, CBO estimates that this bill would require
about 50,000 domestic and foreign food facilities to be inspected in 2015. In fiscal year
2009, the FDA inspected about 7,400 domestic and foreign food establishments.
The bill also would require the Secretary of HHS to establish several pilot projects to
explore and evaluate methods of tracking and tracing food in the United States or for
import into the country. While S. 510 would broaden the FDA’s authority to regulate
food facilities, nothing in this bill would alter or limit the authority of the Secretary of
Agriculture under the laws administered by that Secretary, including, for example, the
Federal Meat Inspection Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, and the Egg Products
Inspection Act.
ORIGINS OF FOOD SADETY LEGISLATION
AND CONNECTIONS BETWEEN CODEX
ALIMENTARIUS COMMISSION AND
ITS ALIGNMENT WITH THE FDA
“Hooray! On to the Senate with our Food Safety legislatio n!!!!
Here is a bit more of the #usbill #HR2729 story. While some of us were more than
the House could handle yesterday, embarrassi ng the Energy and Commerce Committee
in its first try to pass the Food Safety Enhancemen t Act, our friend Rep Dennis Kucinich of the
COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND GOVERNMENT REFORM
was taking testimony from MR. MICHAEL TAYLOR, our esteemed FDA food Czar:
Here is the paragraph from MICHAEL TAYLOR, written testimony:
In addition, FDA is leading an effort through the Codex Alimentari us Commission , the
internatio nal food safety standards body, with support of the Food and Agricultur e
Organizati onlWorld Health Organizati on, to develop commodity- specific annexes to the Codex
hygienic code for fresh fruit and vegetable production , starting with an annex for fresh leafy
vegetables and herbs. In June 2009, FDA conducted the first Codex internatio nal elechonic
working group with members of the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFÐ to advance the
drafr Annex for Fresh Leafy Vegetables to the next stage of completion . In November 2009,
CCFH will consider how to proceed with the next tier of priority commoditie s.

I had that experience myself during the first two meetings I attended as a member of the U.S. delegation (in 2000 and 2001). As a member of that delegation, I sat right behind Dr. Elizabeth Yetley and passed her notes, which she basically ignored with one exception when I caught her during a break and convinced her to retract a deletion that she had asked for from the committee Report. (She had unilaterally asked the chairman to delete the statement that the United States supported consumer freedom of choice for dietary supplements.) That was my first meeting in June 2000 in Berlin, Germany; and it was a real experience.
