FDA Doesn't Learn of Toxic Food Imports

Imported food arriving in the United States routinely tests positive for toxic substances, but the FDA only learns about good tests, not bad, according to a USA Today report.

And none of the reform bills proposed by Congress in response to a slew of recalls in the past year suggest closing this loop hole, which can allow unscrupulous importers to take their bad imports to another lab in hopes of getting a positive result.

There's no evidence that's happening, but the loophole is big enough to drive a truck full of toxic food through.
