It is the responsibility of the Food and Drug Administration to inspect and safeguard the nation’s food supply, in order to prevent outbreaks of food-based illnesses and contain such outbreaks when they do occur.
To help the FDA accomplish these goals, the Senate has passed several measures to reinforce and improve the FDA, and I am proud to have been a sponsor of the FDA Revitalization Act, which strengthens the FDA’s ability to inspect food and expand its notification process so that the public can learn sooner about outbreaks and recalls sooner.

Thank you for contacting me on this important subject.

Sincerely,
Edward M. Kennedy”
