Just 48 hours left to protect food safety laws
In just 48 hours the House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on a bill that would eliminate nearly 200 state and local food safety laws. Backed by food industry lobbyists, the bill, which has never been the subject of congressional hearings, would effectively dissolve critical food safety protections in all 50 states that are not identical to federal standards. Many of these food safety laws, however, are more stringent than federal laws.
Food industry lobbyists are working around the clock to ram this bill through Congress without a single hearing! Click here to help us protect our state and local food safety laws by sending a free message to your Representative today. Please don't wait - the House is expected to vote on this bill this Thursday!

Right now states can enact food safety laws to protect their residents when the federal government fails to do so. Many states have enacted laws to protect their residents from irradiated food; chemical additives that can cause cancer, and fish that have excessively high levels of mercury, which can cause birth defects.
Every year millions of Americans suffer from food-borne illnesses and thousands of them die. This bill would make almost impossible for states to protect their residents from food-borne health threats.
We need your help to speak out against this dangerous legislation before it's too late. We have just two days left to tell our Representatives to protect America's food supply and health by voting against this bill!

Thanks so much for your help!
