• The Food and Drug Administration has embarked on a drive to impose new regulations. It's proposed rules for farmers and food companies to deal with bacterial threats in raw fruits and vegetables. FDA received more regulatory authority in a 2011 law. The new proposed rules were due a year ago, but the administration waited until after the 2012 elections. The rules would cover food workers' hygiene, irrigation water and animals wandering in produce fields. The Centers for Disease Control estimates 3,000 Americans die each year from contaminated food.
