The recent move by the USDA to disband several food safety advisory committees is deeply concerning and poses risks to public health. These expert panels play a crucial role in ensuring our food supply is safe by providing scientific guidance and oversight. Disbanding them undermines consumer protection and food security. Furthermore, budget cuts that diminish the resources and staffing of agencies like the USDA jeopardize their ability to effectively inspect facilities, enforce standards, and respond to foodborne illness outbreaks. As a constituent, I urge you to oppose any budget proposals that weaken food safety measures or defund essential agencies and advisory bodies. Public health and safety should be the top priority, not cost-cutting that puts Americans at risk. Please vote against any legislation that compromises our nation's food safety infrastructure.
