In his own words

New York Democrat Senator Charles Schumer is as serious as a heart attack about the food safety issue. Read about it on his Website press room. Talking to Robert Guenther of United today, he believes that Congress wants to act early in the next session on food safety. At the same time, he feels the industry will get a fair hearing about what it has done and what it is doing. With Schumer in favor of a new food safety agency and more regulation of fresh produce, the industry better be prepared for some leading questions from all the listening lawmakers.
