Here’s the exciting part:

While fruit and vegetable imports into the United States have grown to almost half of the U.S. food supply, FDA has said.

But, Lovera and other consumer groups claim that FDA’s staff of inspectors has shrunk, meaning the agency often only has enough time to test about 2 percent of products.

“We don’t have a comprehensive system when it comes to imports. It’s often reactive, it’s not proactive,” Lovera said. “We’re kind of in the dark about what’s happening.”

“Regulations are killing business!”
