There was just a feature on our local San Francisco, CA news the other day about fruit and vegetables that don't pass agricultural inspections and still make it back into the country because only 2% of the product is ever inspected. I think what they were implying is if you fail to get into the US with a load of sewer broccolli, then you try again later at either a different border crossing or with a different truck or just try again. Coliform tests are one thing, but you have to destroy the failed goods or else they just come in later.

It would sure be nice if Allan and I were wrong on this....

I can wash my veggies, but it makes me wonder if I am ingesting DDT veggies or some other food with similar pesticides not allowed in the USofA?

(I know DDT is outlawed internationally, I'm just making a point.)
