New Federal Food Agency Established: Stricter Inspections and Enhanced Food Safety.

This Act establishes the Federal Food Administration (FFA) to take over all food-related regulatory and enforcement powers currently held by the FDA. For citizens, this means the food supply will be subject to significantly more frequent and rigorous safety inspections, including mandatory semi-annual checks of infant formula facilities. The goal is to ensure that all marketed food is safe, wholesome, sanitary, and properly labeled, directly enhancing public health protection.
Key points
Creation of the Federal Food Administration (FFA), centralizing all food regulation functions previously managed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Mandatory inspection schedule introduced: high-risk facilities must be inspected annually, and infant formula manufacturers must be inspected every six months.
Requires follow-up compliance checks within 30 days after a facility is cited for deficiencies, ensuring rapid correction of safety issues.
