The Subcommittee on Health held a markup to consider "H.R. 2749, the Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009" on Wednesday, June 10, 2009, in 2123 Rayburn House Office Building.  The legislation grants the Food and Drug Administration the authorities and resources it needs to better oversee the safety of the nation's food supply.  The legislation also increases industry's responsibility for overseeing the safety of their own products and provides FDA with new and enhanced tools to hold them accountable when they fail.
