This bill, titled the "Federal Food Administration Act of 2025," proposes to establish a new agency, the Federal Food Administration (FFA), within the Department of Health and Human Services. This agency is to be created within one year of the bill's enactment and will be headed by a Commissioner of Foods , appointed by the President with Senate consent. The FFA's primary mission is to promote public health by ensuring foods are safe, wholesome, sanitary, and properly labeled, and by efficiently reviewing food and nutrition research. The FFA will assume all food-related regulatory, administrative, and enforcement authorities currently held by the Food and Drug Administration under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. This includes transferring resources and facilities from the FDA's Human Foods Program, Office of Inspections and Investigations, and Center for Veterinary Medicine that pertain to food regulation. The bill also mandates interagency collaboration with entities like the Department of Agriculture and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to enhance scientific expertise. A key provision is the establishment of a comprehensive, risk-based inspection program for food facilities. Facilities will be categorized as high-risk, intermediate-risk, or low-risk, with inspection frequencies ranging from annually for high-risk to every three years for low-risk facilities. Notably, infant formula manufacturing facilities will be inspected every six months. The Commissioner of Foods is also directed to contract with State officials to carry out at least half of these required inspections and conduct timely follow-up compliance checks.
