5 Facts Supporting FDA's Food Safety Budget Request

For fiscal year 2016, the president asked Congress for $109.5 million in additional funding for the Food and Drug Administration to continue implementation of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Providing the agency with the resources needed to implement this important food safety law has been a bipartisan priority since FSMA was enacted in 2011.
