Abstract:
Legislating an unwise food safety policy could seriously undermine the primary benefits of international trade and harm U.S. households and the economy as a whole. America's food security depends on sound policies that mitigate the risk that unsafe products could reach U.S. dinner tables without reducing food supplies and driving up food prices.
