Risk-based Oversight for Integrity Act

Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.

2026-03-27

This bill would change how the government inspects and oversees food safety by focusing inspections more heavily on farms and food companies that pose higher risks to public health, rather than inspecting all operations equally. The approach aims to make food safety oversight more efficient by directing resources toward the biggest potential problems while reducing unnecessary inspections of low-risk producers. Farmers, food manufacturers, and consumers would all be affected by how these new inspection priorities are carried out.
