    (e) Relation to National Organic Program.--
            (1) In general.--Nothing in this section or the amendments 
        made by this section shall be construed to modify the 
        prohibition contained in part 205 of title 7, Code of Federal 
        Regulations, on the use of sewage sludge, including ash, grit, 
        or screenings from the production of sewage sludge, in organic 
        food production under the National Organic Program of the 
        Department of Agriculture.
            (2) Definition.--In this subsection, the term ``sewage 
        sludge'' has the meaning given to such term in section 503.9(w) 
        of title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (or any successor 
        regulations), except that such term includes ash generated 
        during the firing of sewage sludge in a sewage sludge 
        incinerator or grit and screenings generated during preliminary 
        treatment of domestic sewage in a treatment works.

Summary: Sewage Sludge in Food Production Consumer Notification Act - Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Egg Products Inspection Act, the Federal Meat Inspection Act, and the Poultry Products Inspection Act to deem as adulterated food that is: (1) produced on land on which sewage sludge was applied; (2) derived from poultry that were raised, or that consumed animal feed produced, on such land; and (3) derived from livestock that grazed, or consumed animal feed produced, on such land.

Permits exceptions if: (1) the application of sewage sludge ended more than one year before producing food, raising poultry, producing animal feed, or grazing livestock; (2) the food labeling includes notice that the product was produced on such land; or (3) a sign providing such notice is posted in close proximity to the product for those foods generally offered for sale without labeling.

 States that nothing in this Act shall be construed to modify the prohibition on the use of sewage sludge in organic food production under the National Organic Program of the Department of Agriculture (USDA).
