Today from the White House, President Obama called on the Senate to take action on S. 510, the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, which has seen no action on the Senate floor since it was unanimously voted out of committee in November of 2009."This bipartisan bill would complement the work already undertaken by the Food Safety Working Group," President Obama said. "The bill addresses longstanding challenges in the food safety and defense system by promoting a prevention-oriented approach to the safety of our food supply and provides the Federal Government with the appropriate tools to accomplish its core food safety goals."
