S.3128, known as the National Uniformity for Food Act, was the subject of a U.S. Senate hearing on June 27, 2006. Its companion bill H.R.4167 was passed in the House of Representatives in March of 2006. Supporters of this legislation claim that the bill will bring about uniformity between Food and Drug Administration regulations and state laws. However, consumer groups, and an increasing number of political leaders, disagree.
According to the Consumers Union, this bill will inhibit states’ ability to keep milk, seafood and most other food safe by nullifying many state food safety or labeling laws that are not "identical" to federal law, including state laws that deal with problems the federal government doesn't even address. They also report that more than 200 laws in all 50 states would be wiped out. To take part in their “contact your senator” campaign, visit http://www.consumersunion.org and click on Not In My Food. |
