Food Safety Concerns Grow as Imports to US Surge
"Our food inspection system in America is broken and collapsing further all the time," says Representative Rosa De Lauro (D-Connecticut).

More than 130 countries ship food to the United States, yet the FDA is able to inspect only 0.7 percent of all imported food products.
