There are some rustlings about the FDA ending routine food inspections in the US. They have already fired anyone associated to food inspection as far as I can gather and rumors are they will contract out inspection.

This affects Canadian consumers. Vegetables grown in the US under these rules are sold in Canada to Canadian consumers. As an example, where we live we cannot buy lettuce, greens or bagged salads that are not from the US. Most imported vegetables are not tested in Canda as they are tested within in the US system first then exported. That means the only regulatory controls on many fresh vegetables and fruits will be grading and packaging standards. This is just being implemented by the US regime and Canadians need to know about it.

Until this is changed by the government in the ever moving world of trade relations and tariffs Canadian supermarkets will still be supplied with these untested food products.

Yet another reason to never buy American. Commerce requires trust and Americans can't even trust themselves.

I just came home from another grocery run with 0% american product. This is not some great effort, its the new normal and its easy.
