the Senate passed the Food Safety Bill

Its implementation will:

_Allow the FDA to order a recall of tainted foods. Currently the agency can only negotiate with businesses to order voluntary recalls;

_Require larger food processors and manufacturers to register with the Food and Drug Administration and create detailed food safety plans;

_Require the FDA to create new produce safety regulations for producers of the highest-risk fruits and vegetables;

_Establish stricter standards for the safety of imported food;

_Increase inspections of domestic and foreign food facilities, directing the most resources to those operations with the highest risk profiles.

The bill would not apply to meat, poultry or processed eggs
