Think your imported fish from China or those fancy baked goods from Canada are oh la la luxe? Think again. ABC news reports that while 13% of the US annual diet is made up of imported foods that include things like frozen catfish from China, beans from Belgium, jalapenos from Peru, blackberries from Guatemala, and packaged foods from Canada, India and the Philippines, a mere 1.3% of all imported foods are actually inspected. That means the other 98.7% of imported foods are released into the American market without a check for filth to unsafe food coloring to contamination with pesticides to salmonella.
