- Americans expect the foods they consume to be safe. We will hold companies accountable when they do not take adequate measures to ensure the safety of the foods they provide.
- RT @WTTW: “Jimmy John’s restaurants have been implicated in multiple outbreaks that have spanned the past seven years and impacted consumers in no fewer than 17 states,” said Frank Yiannas, FDA deputy commissioner for food policy and response.
@SecretarySonny
- Farmers need a legal, reliable ag labor workforce to continue to thrive. The US signed an MOU w/ El Salvador to increase cooperation & encourage safe recruitment of temporary H2A & H2B workers. This along w/ agreements w/ Guatemala & Honduras will provide great mutual benefit.
