Think the government is keeping a watchful eye on your food supply?
Officials say they are but critics contend an enormous amount of U.S. foods are being imported from other countries, raising all kinds of health and safety concerns.
Food imports have exploded in recent years, totalling $119 billion in 2014, according to the USDA. That’s nearly triple the value of imports from 15 years earlier.
The problem is that food safety regulations in other countries might not be as tight as those in the United States. And U.S. regulators are challenged to keep up with the massive number of producers and shipments.
