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.
