Wait! Let me at least try to get a handle on the problem. It’s the least I can do for the poor lass.

Actually most American food, aside from meat, is never inspected. The plants producing the food may be inspected once a year.
I go into food processing plants in the USA pretty regularly. These folks are very serious about health.

I agree but that that doesn't mean they are inspected by any outsiders. Companies in the US are serious about food safety because it is good for business. No one wants a
food safety scandal because it will kill your brand, cost you a lot of money and being safe is simply the right thing to do.

A ping list dedicated to exposing the quality, safety and security issues of anything “Made in China”.

Chinese food imports. When Russian Roulette just isn’t deadly enough.

Two Rules
1. Always take a good look at what you’re about to eat. It’s not so
important to know what it is, but it’s critical to know what it was.
2. Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly!
