This is a temporary mandate ("shall") for the Secretary. It has to be temporary since Congress and the president cant' get away with permanently barring court action to protect the public or permanently denying scientific input.

Remember "fecal soup"? A CBS "60 Minutes" exposé in 1987 documented widespread food safety violations by the poultry industry, making use of undercover video from a hidden camera placed by the "60 Minutes" crew.
