This is a lie. Knock it off. Reading is apparently difficult.

Luckily Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) is trying to block the bill. A bill that regulates 'persons' who manufacture food products and places the oversight with the TSA.
Section 111 - Requires the HHS Secretary to promulgate regulations on sanitary transportation practices for the transportation of food.
Section 204 - Requires the HHS Secretary to: (1) improve tracking and tracing of fruits and vegetables that are raw agricultural commodities in the event of a foodborne illness outbreak; and (2) establish standards for the type of information, format, and timeframe for persons to submit records to aid the Secretary in such tracking and tracing.
Section 101 - (2) require that each person (excluding farms and restaurants) who manufactures, processes, packs, distributes, receives, holds, or imports an article of food permit inspection of his or her records if the Secretary believes that there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to such food will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

1. There is a small list inside the FDA called sources of seed contamination and
2. The FDA has now defined seed as food,
3. So seeds can now be controlled through food safety.
Those seeds (so far) include:
*seeds eaten raw such as flax, poppy sesame, etc.;
*sprouting seeds such as wheat, beans, alfalfa, most greens, etc.;
*seeds pressed into oils such as corn, sunflower, canola, etc.;
*seeds used as animal feed such as soy
