Sequestration Will Create Massive US Food Shortages: Make Sure You Have At Least 2 Mos. Food supply

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Agricultural interests warned that if sequestration leads to furloughing of federal food inspectors, Americans could face their first widespread shortage of meat, poultry and eggs in generations.A coalition of about 30 trade associations complained in a letter this week to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack that the potential 15-day furlough would have “devastating trickle-down effects” by shutting down key elements of the nation’s food supply chain.

Sequestration — the automatic government spending cuts set to take effect March 1 unless Congress and the White House reach alternative fiscal compromise — would likely have a ripple effect on agricultural production plants. Under federal law, the plants cannot process or distribute their products without U.S. Department of Agriculture inspectors to ensure food safety. MOREHERE 

In order to comply with spending cuts, the Office of Management and Budget has said that 1) the FDA could conduct up to 2,100 fewer food inspections, and 2) that the USDA may have to eliminate export inspections and enact two-week furloughs for FSIS employees, which would pull federal inspectors out of slaughterhouses. Cuts to both agencies would “leave our communities vulnerable,” warned President Obama in his weekly address. Indeed, consumer health will be threatened nationwide, as evidenced by a White House memo released last week in which officials warned about the impacts of the sequester on both a federal and state-by-state basis. According to the memo, with fewer FDA and FSIS inspections at domestic and foreign food facilities, the public is at a heightened risk for contracting foodborne illness. MOREHERE
