Bill > S3422

This bill, the Federal Food Administration Act of 2025, establishes a new agency within the Department of Health and Human Services called the Federal Food Administration (FFA) to ensure food safety, wholesomeness, sanitation, and proper labeling, and to promote public health by reviewing food research and regulating product marketing. The FFA will be led by a Commissioner of Foods, appointed by the President, and will collaborate with other federal agencies like the Department of Agriculture and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to enhance scientific expertise. A key provision mandates the creation of an inspection program for food facilities, categorizing them as high-risk (inspected annually), intermediate-risk (inspected every two years), or low-risk (inspected every three years), with infant formula manufacturers requiring inspections every six months. The bill also transfers all food-related authorities, functions, and resources from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to the new FFA, including those related to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and authorizes necessary appropriations for its operation.
