In this thought-provoking keynote session, members of Congress will offer a Congressional perspective on the evolving role of federal oversight in protecting the nation’s food supply. As consumer expectations grow, supply chains expand, and scientific innovation accelerates, lawmakers are increasingly called to ensure that food safety policy keeps pace. This session will explore how Congress views its responsibility in safeguarding public health, what legislative priorities are on the horizon, and how industry stakeholders can engage to support effective, science-based policy.
