"Food Safety" Bill: Bad News for Supplements (Ties U.S. to Codex) and Gives FDA Control Over Farming!

The Senate’s version of the   “Food Safety” Bill ( S-510) is better than the House’s in some important respects. For example, it drops the draconian jail sentences and fines for vague infractions, including paperwork errors. But it includes a Codex provision that absolutely must be amended out in order to protect free choice about supplements. Please help to ensure that  it does not get through the Senate in its present form!  Because of the importance of this bill, we will devote the entire newsletter this week to it and the accompanying alert.
