The United States lags far behind the EU where food safety is concerned. This bill will help to bridge that gap, and bring the safety of the US food supply up to acceptable standards. ThePeanut Corporation of America scandal, a massive salmonella outbreak that killed several people, would very likely not have happened in the UK, because there are checks and balances in place. The idea that if the bill is passed farmers' markets and backyard gardens would be illegal is just propaganda.
