Richard Durbin actually said...
As a matter of fact, it turns out the FDA is the weakest link in a very weak chain. We have 12 to 15 different federal agencies responsible for food safety, 30 different laws, 40 to 50 different committees on Capitol Hill. This system is awful. It has to change, if the people are going to have confidence in the food that they're buying for themselves and the pets they love.
Context
Senator Durbin criticizes the current food safety system and calls for change to restore public confidence.
