A key Senate committee is scheduled to vote on a proposal that would require food manufacturers to alert state investigators within a day of their internal test results that show a contaminant. This comes in response to the salmonella outbreak stemming from the Peanut Corporation of America's plant in Blakely, Georgia.
This proposal would also force the companies to conduct the tests at least once a year.
Food safety experts, government groups and industry lobbies say they don't know of any states that have such a requirement.
