John,

I just learned some unsettling news.

The USDA took a step that endangers food safety and public health during a pandemic. It granted a regulatory waiver to speed up slaughter lines at a chicken plant that has repeatedly violated safety regulations and even threatened food safety inspectors.

And, there is only ONE trained government inspector at the end of the slaughter line “inspecting” three birds every second.

While we are all dealing with the national public health crisis, USDA is putting our safety further at risk by waiving our most basic food safety protections. But we can stop them.

Food & Water Action is mobilizing to force Congress to stop USDA from endangering our food and public health. But your congressional representative needs to hear from you. Send a message to your representative demanding that USDA stops any and all future food safety waivers.

Further, just last week, USDA told a beef slaughter plant in Kansas that it could self-regulate and take over food safety inspections that are supposed to be done by trained government inspectors.

Food safety inspectors are already putting themselves in harm’s way working during the COVID-19 outbreak so we can have safe food. Now their bosses are making their jobs even more dangerous and our food less safe.

Tell Congress to Protect Our Food

Granting food safety waivers during a national public health crisis and further endangering public health is unthinkable. That’s why we need Congress to put a halt to USDA’s regulatory waivers.

You can fight back: Send a message to your representative demanding they stop any and all future food safety waivers.
