Four Congressmen have sent a letter to the Bush Administration urging stricter monitoring of Chinese food imports:
The Bush administration should consider banning food imports from China if the Food and Drug Administration cannot ensure their safety, several members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee told the agency this week.
A letter to the FDA from four Democrats cataloged recent problems with Chinese food imports and asked for information on the issue for the last six years.
They added that if the agency cannot ensure the imports’ safety, the administration “should consider a complete ban of all food imports from China until such time that FDA can assure the American consumer of the safety of these imports.
Country-of-origin labelling. It does a body good.
