Explanation:

The Food Safety Modernization Act was passed in January 2011, giving the FDA new authorities to regulate the way foods are grown, harvested and processed. It was passed because many citizens are in danger of contracting a food-borne illness, more people are living with chronic illnesses, and pathogens are becoming stronger and harder to defeat.
