To prohibit the use of Federal funds to implement Salmonella framework for raw poultry products.

# HR 690 Summary **What the Bill Does:** HR 690 would block the federal government from spending money to implement a new food safety rule targeting Salmonella contamination in raw poultry products. The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) proposed this rule in August 2024, which would classify raw chicken and turkey products containing certain levels of Salmonella as unsafe for sale. The rule would also require poultry processing plants to conduct more frequent testing and maintain detailed records of contamination monitoring. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects poultry producers and processing facilities, which would face new testing and documentation requirements under the proposed rule.

It could also impact consumers, as stricter Salmonella standards could change product availability or pricing. The legislation prevents federal enforcement of these food safety measures if passed. **Current Status:** HR 690 was introduced by Representative Tracey Mann (R-KS) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. The bill remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
