Make Our Food Safe!
One in four Americans will get sick from tainted food this year - but this wouldn’t be the case if Congress were to pass responsible, effective reforms for our food safety system. Take action!
Every year, 76 million Americans get sick from consuming contaminated food - and 5,000 of these people die. That’s more than the number of individuals who lose their lives as a result of fire or unintentional drowning in the U.S. each year.
Continued outbreaks of food contamination over the last several years - from spinach to peppers to peanuts - have demonstrated that these outbreaks are not random, unpreventable occurrences, but are due to widespread problems with our food safety system.
Our current food system - regulated by 15 separate federal agencies - is broken and in need of reform. Congress has the opportunity to change course and help protect children, families, senior citizens and all others from foodborne-illness.
