"Funding To Meet Requirements of Food Safety Law Yet To Be Found"

"With President Obama slated to sign historic food-safety legislation into law Tuesday, the coalition of food industry, public interest and consumer groups that used a public health message to win its passage is now making an argument for its funding.

Funding for the law, the first major overhaul of the nation's food safety system since the Great Depression, is in question as Republicans assume control of the House and pledge to shrink - not expand - the federal bureaucracy."

Lyndsey Layton reports for the Washington Post January 4, 2010.
