Witnesses testified about food safety. This hearing was held after a report to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Science Advisory Board which found that the FDA is under funded, its scientific base has eroded, its scientific organizational structure was weak, and its information technology infrastructure was inadequate. Topics included the changing challenges to the U.S. food inspection system, the need for a collaborative approach to import safety, and the need to enforce international food quality standards. close
