FOREIGN FOOD LAB RESULTS SUBPOENAED BY CONGRESS

June 20th, 2008 · No Comments · Food Safety, Legislation

A House Subcommittee has subpoenaed the records of companies that analyze “the most dangerous foods” entering our food supply from other countries.

The private labs have not been willing to turn over their results voluntarily because they were afraid that their importer-clients would not be happy.

It appears to be routine practice to either keep testing until the right results are found, or to take the food to a less reputable lab where the right result is guaranteed. Either way allows potentially dangerous food to cross into the country.
