The big international food conglomerates must be celebrating today as the US Senate passed it’s version of the Food Safety and Modernization Act by a vote of 73 to 25. The only amendment to the Food Safety Modernization Act allowed was the Tester Amendment which exempts small operations (earning under $500,000 a year) from having to file a food safety plan. Congress must now pass a final form of HR 2749 and S 510, which President Obama is expected to sign into law.

The Socialist Democrats in the Senate have done it again by pushing big government further onto family farms and ranches and into our local stores and homes.
