FDA import rejections: a report
This is interesting. The USDA has done an analysis of the kinds of imported foods rejected by the FDA for reasons of sanitation (the lack thereof), pesticides, and improper or no registration. The winners are vegetables, seafood, and fruit, in that order. This report was about the industries that are having the most problems. It doesn’t say a word about the countries doing the exporting. Maybe the USDA will do that next? That’s the one I want to see.
