Modernize food-safety agencies and coordinate inspections

LaHood supports modernizing how federal food and consumer safety agencies coordinate and are funded, and reviewing food-supply-chain safety so inspections are timely and effective. He says any new requirements should not unfairly burden family farmers, producers, or businesses that are working to protect food safety.

Context: He does not specify the funding changes or the standards for deciding whether new burdens are unfair. Reported in a 2026 candidate interview/guide; the exact original statement date is not established.
