Download or read book Ensuring Safe Food written by Committee to Ensure Safe Food from Production to Consumption and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-09-02 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How safe is our food supply? Each year the media report what appears to be growing concern related to illness caused by the food consumed by Americans. These food borne illnesses are caused by pathogenic microorganisms, pesticide residues, and food additives. Recent actions taken at the federal, state, and local levels in response to the increase in reported incidences of food borne illnesses point to the need to evaluate the food safety system in the United States. This book assesses the effectiveness of the current food safety system and provides recommendations on changes needed to ensure an effective science-based food safety system. Ensuring Safe Food discusses such important issues as: What are the primary hazards associated with the food supply? What gaps exist in the current system for ensuring a safe food supply? What effects do trends in food consumption have on food safety? What is the impact of food preparation and handling practices in the home, in food services, or in production operations on the risk of food borne illnesses? What organizational changes in responsibility or oversight could be made to increase the effectiveness of the food safety system in the United States? Current concerns associated with microbiological, chemical, and physical hazards in the food supply are discussed. The book also considers how changes in technology and food processing might introduce new risks. Recommendations are made on steps for developing a coordinated, unified system for food safety. The book also highlights areas that need additional study. Ensuring Safe Food will be important for policymakers, food trade professionals, food producers, food processors, food researchers, public health professionals, and consumers.

Book excerpt: Reauthorization. Appropriations authority for several child nutrition programs will expire by the end of the 105th Congress, prompting congressional action in 1998. Expiring authorities include those for: the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (the WIC program), the Summer Food Service program, State Administrative Expense (SAE) assistance, the commodity distribution program, and a number of special-purpose projects. While other child nutrition programs (such as the School Lunch and Breakfast programs) are permanently authorized, significant changes in these programs also are being considered for inclusion in the reauthorization legislation. Legislation. On June 4, 1998, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce ordered reported a substantially amended bipartisan version of H.R. 3874. This bill, now entitled the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Amendments of 1998, extends expiring program appropriations authorities through FY2003 and revises the National School Lunch Act and the Child Nutrition Act for net federal outlay savings estimated at approximately $70 million through FY2003. The major spending item in the bill expands the availability of federal subsidies for snacks served in after-school programs. The savings in the bill are derived from provisions (1) requiring that, when federal children nutrition subsidies are indexed for inflation each year, they all be rounded down to the nearest whole cent (not to the nearest quarter cent) and (2) reducing federal funds set aside for audits in the Child and Adult Care Food program. Additional amendments authorize a demonstration project providing free breakfasts for elementary school children without regard to family income, increase administrative flexibility for schools, states, and WIC agencies, make it easier for private nonprofit sponsors to operate the Summer Food Service program, change licensing and health/safety requirements on participating child nutrition providers, add a number of provisions to protect the integrity of the WIC program, and limit the degree to which WIC agencies can keep unused money and spend it in the following year. Most of the provisions in the Administrationâ€TMs child nutrition reauthorization package (H.R. 3666/S.2166) are included in H.R. 3874 as ordered reported. Eight other bills are before Congress: H.R. 3086, H.R. 3405, H.R. 3871, H.R. 3872, H.R. 3873, S. 1396, S.1556, and S.1581. Major provisions in these bills that are not contained in the bipartisan H.R. 3874 include those that would: mandate federal subsidies for free breakfasts to all elementary schoolchildren in participating schools (regardless of family income), restore money for start-up and expansion grants for breakfast and summer programs, and expand participation by for-profit child care providers in the Child and Adult Care Food program. The House may take up H.R. 3874 during the week of June 22, 1998, and consideration of child nutrition legislation by the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee also is expected the week of June 22.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major issues may include: (1) review of goals and operations of the Food and Drug Administration, (2) implementation of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 including the V-chip to assist parental control of television access by children, (3) data encryption and its potential effects on law enforcement and national security activities, (4) the effects of potential changes in the Department of Energy on its R & D program, (5) technical aspects of restructuring of the electric utility industry, (6) public health implications of reauthorization of the 1990 Clean Air Act, (7) the controversy over the Persian Gulf syndrome, (8) transportation safety and technology aspects of re-authorization of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act, and (9) the future of the space station in view of continued problems with Russian participation. The impact of budget balancing on federal research and development (R & D) funding is likely to remain an issue of note. Projections call for a substantial decline in total federal R & D funding by FY2002. Whether this happens, and, if so, how it will be apportioned among the various R & D funding agencies and their programs likely will be major foci of debate. Closely intertwined will be continued examination of the proper federal role in supporting the national R & D effort. While Congress appears supportive of a strong national program, there is considerable disagreement about the limits of the federal contribution.
