This is an excellent proposal. Allowing foods to go through the FDA even when they have already been declined is completely undermining the great establishment that is the FDA. If the FDA has decided that a certain food is not fit for consumption, than it is just not fit for human consumption and is tainted. That product should not be allowed to enter the United States even from another port. In addition, to prevent this kind of tainted food from entering in the first place, the FDA should increase the percentage of food they inspect to about 50 percent of the total food that enters this country. That way, the agency can better detect when a supplier is trying to sneak tainted goods past them.
