“America’s grocery stores and its customers praise the President and the Congress for working together with industry to improve the safety of our food supply. Today’s supermarkets offer a wide variety of foods from across the globe. This law will enhance the safety of our food supply by requiring every food producing company to have a written food safety plan, by providing the Food and Drug Administration the authority to recall products, by recognizing third-party certification plans, and by adopting a risk-based approach to food safety inspections. Working together, we all will play an important role to prevent foodborne illnesses and strengthen the safety of our food supply.”
