Add your name to strengthen key protections against food safety hazards

Docket No. FDA-2021-N-0471

The CDC estimates that every year, 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from foodborne diseases in this country. Our food safety systems do too little to prevent these illnesses (such as the two recent listeria outbreaks that have killed three Americans and hospitalized 22 since 2014) before they can harm us.

But it doesn't have to be that way. The FDA's proposed revisions to the Food Safety Modernization Act would better protect Americans from foodborne illnesses by strengthening agricultural water requirements. I urge the agency to implement the strongest standards possible for the safety of our food.
