being voted on in the House today
here is the beginning excerpted from the above link:
(1) IN GENERAL- Except as provided in subsections (c) and (d), no
State or political subdivision of a State may, directly or
indirectly, establish or continue in effect under any authority any
notification requirement for a food that provides for a warning
concerning the safety of the food, or any component or package of the
food, unless such a notification requirement has been prescribed
under the authority of this Act and the State or political
subdivision notification requirement is identical to the notification
requirement prescribed under the authority of this Act.
It takes away a state or local government's power to have stricter
food safety laws than those established on a federal level. You might
call this "dumbing down".
It does not appear to affect the FALCPA of 2004.
