Agree. There are of course many other nations with food quality requirements equal to ours it is true that the growing conditions and governmental supervision in third world countries is not up to first world standards. My only reason for posting was that the article you posted is not a fair discussion of the issues. I wonder if you meant FDA when you list CDC. The CDC typically deals with disease outbreaks such as salmonella, shigella, and c. diff while the FDA is responsible for food safety and inspection. Sadly recent federal budget cutbacks have decreased the ability of the FDA to monitor both domestic and imported foods.
