S.510 is the official name of the Food Safety Modernization Act, a bill that is expected to pass through the U.S. Congress soon, and without much difficulty.  Sometimes lawmakers across the aisle have a difficult time seeing eye-to-eye–but not when it comes to food safety.  The bill, sponsored by Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL), would potentially give the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services more regulatory control over inspections, recalls, and imported foods.
