WASHINGTON -- Virtually every food product in the United States will soon have to be registered along with its supplier as part of the fight against terrorism.
Figuring that the best way to protect the nation's food supply is to keep better tabs on it, the government is requiring some 400,000 facilities in the United States to register themselves and their products with the Food and Drug Administration.
In addition, anyone importing food from abroad will have to give regulators advance notice before its arrival: two hours for food shipments coming across the border by truck, four hours if aboard planes or trains, and eight hours if by ship.
"We are providing critical new tools for the FDA to identify potentially dangerous foods and better keep our food supply safe and secure," Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson said Thursday in announcing the regulations that take effect Dec. 12.
FDA Commissioner Mark McClellan said the government will continue to work with food companies to assure that the requirements do not interrupt trade.
(Yeah RIGHT! Interrupting the flow of food is EXACTLY the PURPOSE of this NAZI CRAP!!)
The Bush administration in May proposed making food companies notify regulators of shipments from outside the United States by noon on the day before its arrival. The industry complained that requirement for shipments as simple as daily truckloads of fresh vegetables from Canada and Mexico would interrupt trade.
Susan Stout, vice president for Grocery Manufacturers of America, said the FDA appears to have addressed the industry's chief concerns.
The FDA and Bureau of Customs and Border Protection also have agreed to share information on food shipments so companies will not have to duplicate their reporting.
Government officials said the registration requirements will enable them to respond more quickly to emergencies, especially if terrorists were to tamper with food in a way that would spread infectious bacteria.
Registering food suppliers and their products is expected to cost the industry $336 million the first year, the government said. Farms generally are not covered by the rules. Those that make and sell goods such as jelly and cheese will have to register.
But John R. Cady, president and CEO of the National Food Processors Association, noted that fund-raisers who keep cookies and other foods in their homes to sell for charity won't have to register under the newest version of the regulations. "FDA clearly listened to various stakeholders," he said.

Well gee, I didn’t even realize we HAD a problem with our imported food supply system. Is the importing business in such a sloppy state it now needs monitoring? So now we’re supposed to be worried about being poisoned through foods. What about the food right here in the U.S. - as if we’re not poisoned already? Maybe we should just stop importing foods. And there's nothing like giving those "terrorists" ideas on how to cripple us. What is this really about? Are they going to target certain races through the food chain and use chemical terrorism as the excuse?
Hitech – you said you told us about this previously – can you please direct me to the thread? |

Well thanks to NAFTA/GATT we can have DDT Pesticide laden produce from South America and elsewhere and GM FRANKENFOOD on our shelves.
The RFID tags have been stopped at Wal-Mart due to massive pressure about privacy issues.
If they try to put them on food products..I think many people will consider a boycott.
I have about a years supply of dry food stored up for emergencies...even though I'll probably only be able to eat twice a day.
I think its a good idea to be prepared..regardless.
Its a matter of survival.

Oh yeah I forgot.
Lots of ammunition and several rifles would help too.
Hunting might be your only option.
You never know when the UN or the Chuck Schumers of this world might want to starve us.
