Protecting America’s Food Supply Act of 2026
The Protecting America's Food Supply Act of 2026 requires the Department of Health and Human Services to evaluate imported food products based on their health risks, safety history, import volume, and the coordination between U.S. and foreign regulators. Within one year of enactment, the agency must publish a detailed report on its findings, including specific targets and actual numbers for foreign facility inspections by the Food and Drug Administration. The report will also analyze trends by food type and country of origin to determine if current inspection methods align with existing food safety laws. This legislation aims to increase transparency and oversight of the food supply chain by making inspection data publicly available on a government website.
