Expanded Food Safety Investigation Act of 2025

This bill lets the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ask to enter large animal-feeding operations to collect samples if the FDA believes it is needed to investigate a foodborne-illness outbreak, figure out what caused one, or address other public health concerns. These operations must allow reasonable access for sampling of things like plants, animals, water, and the surrounding environment, and they can face penalties if they refuse. Any data collected through this sampling must be shared with the Department of Agriculture and other state and federal public health agencies to help detect, investigate, and prevent foodborne illness.
