In the past six months, from China alone, inspectors turned back apple chips with an unsafe color additive, fresh ginger with pesticide, and dried mushrooms listed as filthy.
And China wasn't even the biggest offender. From India, inspectors refused hundreds of items, including spinach with pesticide, ground spice with salmonella and crushed chilies with pesticides.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. wants an overhaul of the food safety system. Last week, he gave the Chinese ambassador an earful.
"They have been reluctant to let our inspectors see their production facilities," said Durbin. "That is unacceptable. If we are going to do trade with them and expand our trade, they have to play by our rules."
