Federal and State Food Safety Information Sharing Act of 2026

This bill would allow the federal Secretary of Health and Human Services to share unredacted Food and Drug Administration information with State, local, Tribal, and Territorial public health authorities. The information could include foodborne illness data, lab testing results, inspection results, recall and outbreak distribution lists, and consumer complaints. Authorities that receive the information could not share it further without FDA permission, unless they decide it is needed to contain an outbreak, carry out a recall, or carry out other State enforcement. The bill would also extend the maximum length of certain federal food safety grants from 3 years to 5 years for grants awarded after the law takes effect.
