h 4 58220 1244433600 false 1248991320 1249272000 2749 20462 This bill would give the FDA greater regulatory powers over the national food supply and food providers with the goal of preventing food-borne illnesses and ensuring food safety. More specifically, it would increase the frequency of FDA inspections of food processing plants, expand the FDA's traceback capabilities for when outbreaks do occur, give the FDA mandatory recall authority, and require food facilities to have safety plans in place in order to mitigate hazards. Concurrently, the bill would impose annual registration fees of $500 on all facilities holding, processing, or manufacturing food and require that such facilities also engaged in the transport or packing of food maintain pedigrees of the origin and previous distribution history of the food. The bill is an enhancement to <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h759/show">H.R.759</a>, and to a lesser extent, <a href="http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h875/show">H.R. 857</a>, previously proposed food safety bills in the 111th Congress. 111 400110
