TIME IS RUNNING OUT…

Tell Your U.S. Senators: Make Our Food Safe NOW!
http://www.makeourfoodsafe.org/

One in four Americans will get sick from tainted food this year, and about 5,000 will die.

Have you been keeping track of all the food recalls and outbreaks of foodborne illness this year? The evidence keeps piling up that something has to be done to fix our broken food-safety system. Let’s start now.

S.510, the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, would require the FDA to inspect dangerous facilities regularly and grant it the power to recall contaminated food among other food-safety system improvements.

Time is running out for the Senate to pass S. 510, the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act. Congress is down to its final legislative days. If it doesn’t pass now, it will die, and the process will have to start all over again next year with a new Congress! This may be our last, best chance for real food-safety reform.

Your senators have the opportunity to change course and finally sign into law legislation that would protect children, senior citizens, and others susceptible to foodborne illness.

Take action today!
