Expanded Food Safety Investigation Act of 2025
This bill allows the USDA or FDA to request microbial sampling at large livestock facilities (concentrated animal feeding operations) during foodborne illness investigations. Facilities must provide reasonable access for sampling animals, water, plants, and the environment to help identify outbreak causes, but can set practical conditions like timing. It does not change existing food safety rules for meat, poultry, or egg products under other federal laws. The goal is to improve outbreak investigations through coordinated data sharing with public health agencies.
