Federal Food Administration Act of 2025
The Federal Food Administration Act of 2025 creates a new agency within the Department of Health and Human Services to oversee food safety and regulation, replacing the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) current food-related responsibilities. The Federal Food Administration will conduct risk-based inspections of food facilities - requiring annual checks for high-risk facilities, biennial checks for intermediate-risk, and triennial checks for low-risk facilities (with infant formula manufacturers inspected every six months). It will assume all FDA food regulatory functions, including the Human Foods Program and Office of Inspections, and must consult with industry stakeholders and scientific experts. The agency will be led by a Commissioner of Foods appointed by the President with Senate approval, effective within one year of the bill's enactment.
