Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Congress would block any federal money from being used to finish or carry out USDA’s proposed Salmonella safety plan for raw chicken and turkey.
- That means the USDA food safety agency could not finalize the proposal, or enforce it, even if it wanted to move forward.
- For shoppers, this could affect how quickly new safety steps meant to reduce Salmonella in raw poultry would take effect.
- For poultry companies, it would avoid new federal requirements tied to the proposed Salmonella approach—at least as long as the funding ban is in place.
