Food importations into the U.S. are subject to oversight by the Food and Drug Administration. There are many FDA regulations that can slow down and even prevent the importation of food. Knowing the rules and processes set in place by FDA will allow you to import food confidently. Food safety is an important priority for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The nature of the U.S. food supply is rapidly changing because of complex food supply chains, increasing globalization, changes in the U.S. population, and new and diverse dietary patterns. These changes present new challenges to our food safety system, prompting FDA to find new ways to strengthen its inspection and enforcement program. Enforcement can range from a warning letter to imprisonment, which is why it is imperative to know how to properly navigate the importation process of food.
