"We have seen report after report saying that FDA has failed to pay proper attention to many risks consumers are facing just from the food we eat."

"It is going to require additional resources and authority so that we will be able to respond in a time of crisis."

"This is one of my highest priorities, and I think we all share the concerns you mentioned about the recent outbreaks and the illness and sometimes deaths caused by food-borne disease in our country."

"The FDA plays a critical role in protecting families across America, and we have to make sure that they have the leadership and resources to do that well."
