Members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee

The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) is writing to express our concern and strong opposition to H.R. 4167, the National Uniformity for Foods Act. NASDA represents the commissioners, secretaries and directors of the state departments of agriculture in the fifty states and four territories.

Sincerely,
ME
