The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act was passed by Senate during a late Sunday night session, and then approved on December 21, 2010 by the House of Representatives.
The bill was passed in the House with a 215-144 vote, and now will make its way to President Obama where it is expected to be signed into law.
The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, S510, was first passed on November 30 by a vote of 73-25, but was later recalled because of a critical error. A process known as “blue slipping” was used to send the bill back to the Senate.
