In this age of global trade, the safety of our food supply should be our most important concern.
Whether grown domestically where producers follow stringent safety practices or imported from countries where these practices may not be required, all our food is shipped in the same trailers and containers.
Currently there are no USDA, FDA, or CDC regulations regarding trailer or container sanitation. The threat of cross-contamination is very real.
It has been reported that approximately 325,000 people are hospitalized each year for food borne illnesses. Some 5,000 of them die.
