Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) raised concerns over the potential risks associated with garlic and other food imported from communist China, saying that these products may not be safe for Americans’ consumption.
“Communist China is led by an evil regime that refuses to play by our rules, enforce U.S. safety and health standards, or have Americans’ best interests in mind. This unfortunate fact means that food and products from Communist China carry increased risks of being grown or produced in dangerous, low-quality conditions,” Mr. Scott wrote in a Dec. 19 letter to Greg Ferrara, president of the National Grocers Association, which represents more than 21,000 grocers across the country.
