To prohibit the use of Federal funds to implement Salmonella framework for raw poultry products.
Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill is a funding prohibition aimed at the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service proposed Salmonella framework for raw poultry products. It prevents federal funds from being used to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the proposed rule and determination published in the Federal Register on August 7, 2024. The bill does not create an alternate poultry safety standard. It blocks the specific regulatory framework from moving forward with federal money, which effectively pauses or stops FSIS work on that proposal unless Congress later provides authority or funding.
Who Benefits and How
Raw poultry processors benefit because the bill blocks a federal Salmonella framework that could have imposed new product standards, testing obligations, enforcement exposure, or compliance costs. Poultry farmers and suppliers benefit indirectly if processor demand and supply-chain requirements are not changed by the proposed framework. Industry groups opposing the rule benefit because Congress would prevent USDA from spending money on implementation or enforcement.
Who Bears the Burden and How
FSIS food safety staff bear the burden because they could not use appropriated funds to complete or administer the proposed framework. Consumers of poultry products and food safety advocates bear a potential risk because the bill prevents implementation of a rule designed to reduce Salmonella risks in raw poultry. Federal oversight staff may need to monitor agency spending to ensure no funds are used on the prohibited rulemaking work.
Key Provisions
- Blocks federal funds from finalizing the proposed Salmonella raw poultry framework.
- Prohibits implementation, administration, and enforcement of the August 2024 FSIS proposed rule and determination.
- Protects raw poultry processors from new compliance obligations tied to that specific proposal.
