FDA Rarely Inspects Imported Food

Thursday, April 19, 2007

Despite routinely being rejected as unfit for human consumption, only 1.3 percent of imported fish, vegetables, fruit, and other foods are inspected by the Food and Drug Administration. What do you think?

George Tartuffe,
Guitar Salesman
"What will the government do with all the food unfit for humans? 'Cause I'll totally eat it if they're just gonna toss it away."

Johann Puntigam,
Pharmacist's Assistant
"Please tell me this doesn't include those Guacamole Doritos."

Paul Ludlow,
Toll Booth Agent
"Can you blame them? I see the words 'Product of Ukraine' on a foodstuff and all my inhibitions melt away."
