What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``SAFE FOOD Act of 2025'', directs the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a study regarding the consolidation of Federal agencies responsible for food safety. The study looks at whether agencies like the Food Safety and Inspection Service, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should be merged into one single agency. This study must be completed within 60 days of the act being passed. Following the study, the Secretary of Agriculture must submit a report to the appropriate congressional committees within one year. This report is required to include the study results and any recommendations regarding consolidation.
