• give the FDA the power to order mandatory food recalls;
• establish mandatory processing and ingredient standards;
• require more inspections of domestic and international food processing plants;
• create a warning system to identify contaminants early on;
• enable the FDA to work with veterinarians and public health officials to uniformly disseminate information about food contamination and update recall lists on the FDA website; and
• require food processing companies to maintain records and make the records immediately accessible to the FDA upon inspection.

Most importantly, the bill would also allow the FDA to fine companies that neglect to report possible contamination.
