New York lawmakers pass pivotal food safety bill ewg.org/news-insights/… via @ewg

The MTA’s decision to allow alcohol advertising is a major challenge to the health of New Yorkers, the NYC Health Department’s goal of reducing the prevalence of chronic diseases, and our commitment to health equity.

Thanks to @DavidSandman1 of @NYHFoundation for calling out the ⁦⁦⁦@MTA⁩ for its decision to undercut public health for chump change. davidsandman.medium.com/not-going-your…

New Yorkers deserve to know what they're eating. Yesterday, we passed the Food Safety & Chemical Disclosure Act, which would strengthen transparency in our food system. I thank @AMKelles for her expertise and leadership and my colleagues in the Senate for their support.

@AMKelles This would not have been possible without the dedicated advocacy of organizations locally and nationally, but I specifically want to thank @CSPI, @EWG, and @IPHNetwork for their insight and tireless organizing efforts.
