Bill 119 HR 690, also known as the "Salmonella Framework Prohibition Act," aims to prevent the use of Federal funds to implement a Salmonella framework for raw poultry products. The bill specifically targets the implementation of a framework that would regulate the presence of Salmonella in raw poultry products, which is a common foodborne pathogen that can cause illness in humans.
The bill is designed to prevent the government from mandating specific regulations or guidelines for the testing and control of Salmonella in raw poultry products. Proponents of the bill argue that such regulations could place undue burdens on poultry producers and potentially lead to increased costs for consumers.
Opponents of the bill, however, argue that Salmonella is a serious public health concern and that regulations are necessary to ensure the safety of raw poultry products. They argue that without proper regulations, consumers could be at risk of contracting Salmonella-related illnesses.
Overall, the debate surrounding Bill 119 HR 690 centers on the balance between food safety regulations and the economic impact on poultry producers and consumers. The outcome of the bill will have implications for the regulation of Salmonella in raw poultry products and the potential risks to public health.
