increase in a previously identified hazard or not less frequently than 
once every 3 years, whichever is earlier. Such reanalysis shall be 
completed and additional preventive controls needed to address the 
hazard identified, if any, shall be implemented before the change in 
activities at the facility is operative. Such owner, operator, or agent 
shall revise the written plan required under subsection (h) if such a 
significant change is made or document the basis for the conclusion 
that no additional or revised preventive controls are needed. The

                the ``Secretary'') shall publish a notice of proposed 
                rulemaking in the Federal Register to promulgate 
                regulations with respect to--
                            (i) activities that constitute on-farm 
                        packing or holding of food that is not grown, 
                        raised, or consumed on such farm or another 
                        farm under the same ownership for purposes of 
                        section 415 of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
                        Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 350d), as amended by

                        manufacturing or processing of food that is not 
                        consumed on that farm or on another farm under 
                        common ownership for purposes of such section

subsection (a), in carrying out this section.

SEC. 204. ENHANCING TRACKING AND TRACING OF FOOD AND RECORDKEEPING.

    (a) Pilot Projects.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 270 days after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Health and Human 
        Services (referred to in this section as the ``Secretary''), 
        taking into account recommendations from the Secretary of 
        Agriculture and representatives of State departments of health 
        and agriculture, shall establish pilot projects in coordination 
        with the food industry to explore and evaluate methods to 
        rapidly and effectively identify recipients of food to prevent 
        or mitigate a foodborne illness outbreak and to address 
        credible threats of serious adverse health consequences or 
        death to humans or animals as a result of such food being 
        adulterated under section 402 of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
        Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 342) or misbranded under section 403(w) 
        of such Act (21 U.S.C. 343(w)).
            (2) Content.--The Secretary shall conduct 1 or more pilot 
        projects under paragraph (1) in coordination with the processed 
        food sector and 1 or more such pilot projects in coordination 
        with processors or distributors of fruits and vegetables that 
        are raw agricultural commodities. The Secretary shall ensure 
        that the pilot projects under paragraph (1) reflect the 
        diversity of the food supply and include at least 3 different 
        types of foods that have been the subject of significant 
        outbreaks during the 5-year period preceding the date of 
        enactment of this Act, and are selected in order to--
                    (A) develop and demonstrate methods for rapid and 
                effective tracking and tracing of foods in a manner 
                that is practicable for facilities of varying sizes, 
                including small businesses;
                    (B) develop and demonstrate appropriate 
                technologies, including technologies existing on the 
                date of enactment of this Act, that enhance the 
                tracking and tracing of food; and
                    (C) inform the promulgation of regulations under 
                subsection (d).
            (3) Report.--Not later than 18 months after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall report to Congress 
        on the findings of the pilot projects under this subsection 
        together with recommendations for improving the tracking and 
        tracing of food.
    (b) Additional Data Gathering.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary, in coordination with the 
        Secretary of Agriculture and multiple representatives of State 
        departments of health and agriculture, shall assess--
                    (A) the costs and benefits associated with the 
                adoption and use of several product tracing 
                technologies, including technologies used in the pilot 
                projects under subsection (a);
                    (B) the feasibility of such technologies for 
                different sectors of the food industry, including small 
                businesses; and
                    (C) whether such technologies are compatible with 
                the requirements of this subsection.
            (2) Requirements.--To the extent practicable, in carrying 
        out paragraph (1), the Secretary shall--
                    (A) evaluate domestic and international product 
                tracing practices in commercial use;
                    (B) consider international efforts, including an 
                assessment of whether product tracing requirements 
                developed under this section are compatible with global 
                tracing systems, as appropriate; and
                    (C) consult with a diverse and broad range of 
                experts and stakeholders, including representatives of 
                the food industry, agricultural producers, and 
                nongovernmental organizations that represent the 
                interests of consumers.
    (c) Product Tracing System.--The Secretary, in consultation with 
the Secretary of Agriculture, shall, as appropriate, establish within 
the Food and Drug Administration a product tracing system to receive 
information that improves the capacity of the Secretary to effectively 
and rapidly track and trace food that is in the United States or 
offered for import into the United States. Prior to the establishment 
of such product tracing system, the Secretary shall examine the results 
of applicable pilot projects and shall ensure that the activities of 
such system are adequately supported by the results of such pilot 
projects.
    (d) Additional Recordkeeping Requirements for High Risk Foods.--
            (1) In general.--In order to rapidly and effectively 
        identify recipients of a food to prevent or mitigate a 
        foodborne illness outbreak and to address credible threats of 
        serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or 
        animals as a result of such food being adulterated under 
        section 402 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or 
        misbranded under section 403(w) of such Act, not later than 2 
        years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary 
        shall publish a notice of proposed rulemaking to establish 
        recordkeeping requirements, in addition to the requirements 
        under section 414 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 
        (21 U.S.C. 350c) and subpart J of part 1 of title 21, Code of 
        Federal Regulations (or any successor regulations), for 
        facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold foods that 
        the Secretary designates under paragraph (2) as high-risk 
        foods. The Secretary shall set an appropriate effective date of 
        such additional requirements for foods designated as high risk 
        that takes into account the length of time necessary to comply 
        with such requirements. Such requirements shall--
                    (A) relate only to information that is reasonably 
                available and appropriate;
                    (B) be science-based;
                    (C) not prescribe specific technologies for the 
                maintenance of records;
                    (D) ensure that the public health benefits of 
                imposing additional recordkeeping requirements outweigh 
                the cost of compliance with such requirements;
                    (E) be scale-appropriate and practicable for 
                facilities of varying sizes and capabilities with 
                respect to costs and recordkeeping burdens, and not 
                require the creation and maintenance of duplicate 
                records where the information is contained in other 
                company records kept in the normal course of business;
                    (F) minimize the number of different recordkeeping 
                requirements for facilities that handle more than 1 
                type of food;
                    (G) to the extent practicable, not require a 
                facility to change business systems to comply with such 
                requirements;
                    (H) allow any person subject to this subsection to 
                maintain records required under this subsection at a 
                central or reasonably accessible location provided that 
                such records can be made available to the Secretary not 
                later than 24 hours after the Secretary requests such 
                records; and
                    (I) include a process by which the Secretary may 
                issue a waiver of the requirements under this 
                subsection if the Secretary determines that such 
                requirements would result in an economic hardship for 
                an individual facility or a type of facility;
                    (J) be commensurate with the known safety risks of 
                the designated food;
                    (K) take into account international trade 
                obligations;
                    (L) not require--
                            (i) a full pedigree, or a record of the 
                        complete previous distribution history of the 
                        food from the point of origin of such food;
                            (ii) records of recipients of a food beyond 
                        the immediate subsequent recipient of such 
                        food; or
                            (iii) product tracking to the case level by 
                        persons subject to such requirements; and
                    (M) include a process by which the Secretary may 
                remove a high-risk food designation developed under 
                paragraph (2) for a food or type of food.
            (2) Designation of high-risk foods.--
                    (A) In general.--Not later than 1 year after the 
                date of enactment of this Act, and thereafter as the 
                Secretary determines necessary, the Secretary shall 
                designate high-risk foods for which the additional 
                recordkeeping requirements described in paragraph (1) 
                are appropriate and necessary to protect the public 
                health. Each such designation shall be based on--
                            (i) the known safety risks of a particular 
                        food, including the history and severity of 
                        foodborne illness outbreaks attributed to such 
                        food, taking into consideration foodborne 
                        illness data collected by the Centers for 
                        Disease Control and Prevention;
                            (ii) the likelihood that a particular food 
                        has a high potential risk for microbiological 
                        or chemical contamination or would support the 
                        growth of pathogenic microorganisms due to the 
                        nature of the food or the processes used to 
                        produce such food;
                            (iii) the point in the manufacturing 
                        process of the food where contamination is most 
                        likely to occur;
                            (iv) the likelihood of contamination and 
                        steps taken during the manufacturing process to 
                        reduce the possibility of contamination;
                            (v) the likelihood that consuming a 
                        particular food will result in a foodborne 
                        illness due to contamination of the food; and
                            (vi) the likely or known severity, 
                        including health and economic impacts, of a 
                        foodborne illness attributed to a particular 
                        food.
                    (B) List of high-risk foods.--At the time the 
                Secretary promulgates the final rules under paragraph 
                (1), the Secretary shall publish the list of the foods 
                designated under subparagraph (A) as high-risk foods on 
                the Internet website of the Food and Drug 
                Administration. The Secretary may update the list to 
                designate new high-risk foods and to remove foods that 
                are no longer deemed to be high-risk foods, provided 
                that each such update to the list is consistent with 
                the requirements of this subsection and notice of such 
                update is published in the Federal Register.
            (3) Protection of sensitive information.--In promulgating 
        regulations under this subsection, the Secretary shall take 
        appropriate measures to ensure that there are effective 
        procedures to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of any trade 
        secret or confidential information that is obtained by the 
        Secretary pursuant to this section, including periodic risk 
        assessment and planning to prevent unauthorized release and 
        controls to--
                    (A) prevent unauthorized reproduction of trade 
                secret or confidential information;
                    (B) prevent unauthorized access to trade secret or 
                confidential information; and
                    (C) maintain records with respect to access by any 
                person to trade secret or confidential information 
                maintained by the agency.
            (4) Public input.--During the comment period in the notice 
        of proposed rulemaking under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall 
        conduct not less than 3 public meetings in diverse geographical 
        areas of the United States to provide persons in different 
        regions an opportunity to comment.
            (5) Retention of records.--Except as otherwise provided in 
        this subsection, the Secretary may require that a facility 
        retain records under this subsection for not more than 2 years, 
        taking into consideration the risk of spoilage, loss of value, 
        or loss of palatability of the applicable food when determining 
        the appropriate timeframes.
            (6) Limitations.--
                    (A) Farm to school programs.--In establishing 
                requirements under this subsection, the Secretary 
                shall, in consultation with the Secretary of 
                Agriculture, consider the impact of requirements on 
                farm to school or farm to institution programs of the 
                Department of Agriculture and other farm to school and 
                farm to institution programs outside such agency, and 
                shall modify the requirements under this subsection, as 
                appropriate, with respect to such programs so that the 
                requirements do not place undue burdens on farm to 
                school or farm to institution programs.
                    (B) Identity-preserved labels with respect to farm 
                sales of food that is produced and packaged on a 
                farm.--The requirements under this subsection shall not 
                apply to a food that is produced and packaged on a farm 
                if--
                            (i) the packaging of the food maintains the 
                        integrity of the product and prevents 
                        subsequent contamination or alteration of the 
                        product; and
                            (ii) the labeling of the food includes the 
                        name, complete address (street address, town, 
                        State, country, and zip or other postal code), 
                        and business phone number of the farm, unless 
                        the Secretary waives the requirement to include 
                        a business phone number of the farm, as 
                        appropriate, in order to accommodate a 
                        religious belief of the individual in charge of 
                        such farm.
                    (C) Fishing vessels.--The requirements under this 
                subsection with respect to a food that is produced 
                through the use of a fishing vessel (as defined in 
                section 3(18) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 
                Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1802(18))) 
                shall be limited to the requirements under subparagraph 
                (F) until such time as the food is sold by the owner, 
                operator, or agent in charge of such fishing vessel.
                    (D) Commingled raw agricultural commodities.--
                            (i) Limitation on extent of tracing.--
                        Recordkeeping requirements under this 
                        subsection with regard to any commingled raw 
                        agricultural commodity shall be limited to the 
                        requirements under subparagraph (F).
                            (ii) Definitions.--For the purposes of this 
                        subparagraph--
                                    (I) the term ``commingled raw 
                                agricultural commodity'' means any 
                                commodity that is combined or mixed 
                                after harvesting, but before 
                                processing;
                                    (II) the term ``commingled raw

                Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (as added by this

        exist or are inadequate, then, not later than 90 days after the 
        conclusion of such review, the Secretary of Agriculture shall 
        conduct a study of the feasibility of implementing a farmer 
        indemnification program to provide restitution to agricultural 
        producers for losses sustained as a result of a mandatory

        standards.--If the Secretary determines that the food safety 
        programs, systems, and standards in a foreign region, country,

        processed, packed, or held in the United States in accordance 
        with the requirements of this Act, the Secretary shall, to the 
        extent practicable, identify such inadequacies and establish a 
        process by which the foreign region, country, or territory may 
        inform the Secretary of improvements made to such food safety 
        program, system, or standard and demonstrate that those 
        controls are adequate to ensure that an article of food is as 
        safe as a similar article of food that is manufactured, 
        processed, packed, or held in the United States in accordance 
        with the requirements of this Act.''.

        Secretary of Labor (referred to in this section as the

                complainant and the person alleged to have committed a 
                violation of subsection (a) of the Secretary's

                shall be conducted expeditiously. If a hearing is not 
                requested in such 30-day period, the preliminary order

                an action without regard to the amount in controversy, 
                and which action shall, at the request of either party 
                to such action, be tried by the court with a jury. The 
                proceedings shall be governed by the same legal burdens

                    ``(A) In general.--Unless the complainant brings an 
                action under paragraph (4), any person adversely 
                affected or aggrieved by a final order issued under

                issued, allegedly occurred or the circuit in which the 
                complainant resided on the date of such violation. The 
                petition for review must be filed not later than 60 
                days after the date of the issuance of the final order 
                of the Secretary. Review shall conform to chapter 7 of 
                title 5, United States Code. The commencement of 
                proceedings under this subparagraph shall not, unless 
                ordered by the court, operate as a stay of the order.
                    ``(B) No judicial review.--An order of the 
                Secretary with respect to which review could have been 
                obtained under subparagraph (A) shall not be subject to

        has failed to comply with an order issued under paragraph (3), 
        the Secretary may file a civil action in the United States 
        district court for the district in which the violation was 
        found to occur, or in the United States district court for the 
        District of Columbia, to enforce such order. In actions brought 
        under this paragraph, the district courts shall have

        limited to, injunctive relief and compensatory damages.

                    ``(A) In general.--A person on whose behalf an 
                order was issued under paragraph (3) may commence a 
                civil action against the person to whom such order was 
                issued to require compliance with such order. The 
                appropriate United States district court shall have 
                jurisdiction, without regard to the amount in 
                controversy or the citizenship of the parties, to 
                enforce such order.
                    ``(B) Award.--The court, in issuing any final order 
                under this paragraph, may award costs of litigation 
                (including reasonable attorneys' and expert witness

                award is appropriate.
    ``(c) Effect of Section.--
            ``(1) Other laws.--Nothing in this section preempts or 
        diminishes any other safeguards against discrimination, 
        demotion, discharge, suspension, threats, harassment, 
        reprimand, retaliation, or any other manner of discrimination 
        provided by Federal or State law.
            ``(2) Rights of employees.--Nothing in this section shall 
        be construed to diminish the rights, privileges, or remedies of 
        any employee under any Federal or State law or under any 
        collective bargaining agreement. The rights and remedies in 
        this section may not be waived by any agreement, policy, form, 
        or condition of employment.
    ``(d) Enforcement.--Any nondiscretionary duty imposed by this 
section shall be enforceable in a mandamus proceeding brought under 
section 1361 of title 28, United States Code.
    ``(e) Limitation.--Subsection (a) shall not apply with respect to 
an employee of an entity engaged in the manufacture, processing, 
packing, transporting, distribution, reception, holding, or importation
