Head of FDA Backs Food Safety Reform
The nation’s food safety chief told lawmakers on Wednesday the Food and Drug Administration would endorse a Democrat-sponsored bill to revamp the country’s food inspection system but her agency would still require additional funding to implement the measure. Appearing before the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health, Margaret A. Hamburg said she believed the proposed overhaul was a step in the right direction. A committee vote on the measure is expected as early as next week.
