Congress Moves to Bar States from Making Food Safer

Earlier this month, the House of Representatives, with a bipartisan majority, passed a bill that would require uniform labeling of products. It prohibits states from having standards that are "not identical" to the federal government's.

The House held no public hearings. It quietly voted for the change during the week Washington was consumed by the Dubai ports deal.
