| I've been out of touch with gardening for a few years, and just now heard of these. Does anyone have a good understanding to these bills? |
Follow-Up Postings:
|
| Senate Bill 510 and House Bill 875, aka Food Safety and Modernization act, has been passed by the congress and signed into law by the president. |

| Thank you kimmsr for your help. The S510 I somewhat understand with organic foods and selling them. But with the HR875 I'm still in question..and what is the S245? |
|
| The reason for the Food Safety and Modernization Act was to try and help the Food and Drug Administration and the United States Department of Agriculture food inspection recover form the devistation the Reagan adminstration wrought on them and get more food indpectors in the field to try and prevent contaminated foods from reaching the market place. It will not keep you from purchasing heritage or open pollinated seeds or growing foods organically. There are several, conflicting, articles about what S245 is so it is difficult to say what it is. |
