Federal Food Administration Act of 2025

HR 6567 creates a new Federal Food Administration within the Department of Health and Human Services to oversee food safety and regulation, replacing the Food and Drug Administration's food-related responsibilities. It transfers all FDA functions related to food (including inspections, labeling, and enforcement under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act) to this new agency, headed by a presidentially appointed Commissioner of Foods. The bill establishes risk-based inspection schedules: high-risk facilities (like meat processors) must be inspected annually, intermediate-risk facilities every two years, and low-risk facilities (such as warehouses) every three years, with infant formula facilities inspected every six months. This reorganization directly affects food manufacturers, distributors, and retailers by shifting oversight from the FDA to a dedicated agency focused solely on food safety.
