The final bill was not HR2748 that was the original bill in the House.
The final bill was HR2751.
The House and Senate have been playing “hide the pea” with this bill since it arrived in the Senate. Then they did not want to be identified as voting for it so they passed it in the Senate at 10:00 PM by voice vote. Then they realized since it was an appropriations bill it had to originate in the house. The bill (S.510 at that point) was sent back to the House where it was read into an unrelated bill, HR2751, where it replace the entire text of the original HR2751 with the text of S.510. That Bill, HR2751 was passed by the House and sent to the Senate for the final vote and signed into law by the “resident” of 1600 Penn. Ave.
I will find and post a summary of the bill for you.
Both the House and the Senate want to hide this from public scrutiny. Both Dem & Pubbies. All who voted for HR2751 are traitors....and have sold the U.S. citizens out. And turned our entire food supply system (private production) over to FDA regulation.
You will learn to hate them for this.
They are still playing games with the bill as far as where the final text is hidden.
Here is where it resides.
Go To:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.2751:
At the bottom of the page will be listed H.R.2751.ENR
That is the final bill passed and what was signed into law.

But I defy you to find the text of the public law.
Signed by President. 1/4/2011:
Became Public Law No: 111-353.
but when I searched for the Public law on Thomas here is what I found:
this is where the public law should reside, but this is the message you get when you use the link.

“Public Laws”
“You are requesting a file from the Government Printing Office Web Site.”
“If the bill text is not yet available, you may receive an error message.”
“If you get that message, you can see the text of the Enrolled bill by returning to the page you just left, then scroll to the result in which you are interested and select the Text of Legislation link. The Enrolled bill is the text passed by the House and Senate.”

So the conclusion is, we have a public law for which we do not yet have a text. (neither .txt or .pdf versions) It that amazing? I suspect that the FDA is still finalizing the text of the law, but it is already signed into law by the “resident”.

Is this still the United States of America???
Finally found HR 2751 on the GPO website.

.pdf version:
Here is the best I could find explaining the impact of the new legislation. It is clear that the FDA is still developing definitions of some of the terms used in the law that was passed.
Sounds like pass the law so you can see what it really means. (Pelosi method)
