In the American system, while there are tests conducted at the border when imported food reaches the US, the number of these tests has decreased significantly over the last decade despite the increase in imported food products. This decline in testing, coupled with the complexity of the global food supply chain, has made border searches akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. The situation raises questions about the effectiveness of the current system, whether it is due to poorly constructed laws, lax enforcement, or the inherent challenges presented by the vast and intricate nature of the global food supply chain.
