I could see having importers register...maybe. But I'm pretty sure they are registering all food manufacturers, including solely domestic producers.

Although in a very real sense didn't that actually start with Wickard v. Filburn?

The USDA has difficulty making companies recall tainted meat. I'm all for giving the USDA that power, especially after reading about the horrific death of a six-year-old who was infected with a particularly nasty strain of E Coli at The Jack in the Box several years ago.

Having said that, I'm not too keen on local health departments deciding arbitrarily to close down bake sales without any evidence of food spoilage.
