Importing Seafood.

The New York Times article China Vows Food-Safety Changes, addresses the concerns the Food and Drug Administration have with imported seafood. Some Americans may be unaware of the health concerns the F.D.A. has with imported seafood. This article states that, "Chinese goods make up about 22 percent of United States seafood imports. But they accounted for about 63 percent of the shipments that were refused by the F.D.A. last year for having animal drug residues." Imported seafood complications are nothing new to the F.D.A. but, Americans can do more to get more education on Seafood. Where and how is it fished of farmed? All of these things play a major role in the oceans health and individual Americans health as well.
