The goal of the act will prevent contaminated food from being on the market by bringing into effect multiple new regulations.
The regulations will require new food safety plans to prevent these contaminated foods from entering the market and will help to raise the confidence of consumers. The regulations will make it a necessity for grocery stores to make all of the information on the recalled foods visible.
