Laboratory Error
Full Report - The growing volume of nearly uninspected imported food only exacerbates these consumer concerns. A key import that should concern consumers is seafood. Fish and seafood cause one fifth of reported foodborne illness outbreaks. More than four out of five pounds of fish that Americans eat come from overseas. And our relianceon imported seafood is growing — seafood imports grew 11 percent between 2003 and 2006, to 5.4 billion pounds of fish. A 2007 Food & Water Watch study, Import Alert, found that U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspectors examined less than 2 percent of imported fish and seafood shipments.
