While labeling seems like the answer, it seems that unscrupulous types could
easily defeat such a measure by removing and relabeling items for re-sale in the
US. If a product is to be destroyed why can't it be confiscated on sight and
the company forced to pay a destruction fee depending on the amount of the
material? It seems it is possible that bad food can go to another country and
poor people in other countries would end up with poisonous or tainted food in
their markets. A monetary fee or penalty would force companies to take more
care in food safety issues. Also is there a way of tracking which companies are
consistently bringing in bad food? It seems we should not allow such imports
from entering our ports after so many violations within 2 years for example.
