Food Uniformity Act

States are partners in the Nation's extensive food safety network--local and state agency officials perform a wide range of food safety regulatory activities, such as inspections, enforcement and training. NASDA supports the development of uniform food safety regulations and policies that also permit a certain degree of state flexibility to promulgate regulations that address circumstances that may be unique to that state.  

NASDA strongly opposes the National Uniformity for Food Act because the legislation goes beyond its stated purpose of providing uniform food safety warning notification requirements and expands federal preemption under the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act.
