The agreement requires that all food meet international requirements for safety and sanitation.

You expect corrupt Mexico to follow the rules? We have had cantaminated cantelopes, strawberries, green onions and now candy with lead in it in the US. All from NAFTA and Mexico. Mad cow disease from Canada. Tell me about these countries following the rules.

Now you are straying into logical fallacies. Are you suggesting that U.S. companies do not occasionally sell contaminated product? And if they do, is it NAFTA's fault?
