Bill > S1822

This bill, known as the SAFE FOOD Act of 2025, requires the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a comprehensive study on consolidating federal food safety agencies within 60 days of the act's enactment. The study will specifically examine the potential merger of three key agencies: the Food Safety and Inspection Service, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention into a single unified agency. Within one year of the act's enactment, the Secretary of Agriculture must submit a detailed report to the appropriate congressional committees, which will include the study's findings and recommendations regarding the proposed consolidation. The primary goal of this legislation appears to be exploring ways to potentially improve the efficiency and coordination of food safety oversight in the United States by evaluating the benefits of combining multiple agencies responsible for food safety monitoring and regulation.
