Chambliss and Klobuchar Introduce Food Safety Bill

The Ranking Member of the Senate Ag Committee Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., and Senator Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., introduced the Food Safety Rapid Response Act of 2009 on Tuesday. The bill, which complements the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 introduced in March, calls for an increase in participation of public health and food regulatory agencies and laboratories to share findings and develop a centralized database. The measure was created to promote a more effective national response to outbreaks of food-borne sickness.
