A member asked:
Can there be any process that filters foreign foods and their accuracy in nutrition facts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: The us has labeling requirements that imported food is required to meet. But there is precious little enforcement. Most foreign foods only get evaluated when harm is detected which is after the fact.
