Senators Urge Full Funding for Food Safety in Wake of Recalls Following Listeria Outbreak

WASHINGTON, D.C. –(ENEWSPF)—April 30, 2015. Following one of the most sweeping food recalls in history by Blue Bell Creameries and yesterday’s announcement of a recall of potentially contaminated pasta salad at Hy-Vee stores across the Midwest, 7 Senators joined today in urging the Senate Appropriations Committee to fully fund the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) food safety activities authorized by the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).  Since it was signed into law in 2011, the FSMA has been underfunded by less than half the amount it needs for full implementation.
