New Catfish Inspections Stir Debate Over Safety vs. Trade
Inspections of imported catfish are now under the much stricter Agriculture Department, risking retaliation from America’s trade partners."“It is unfortunate that clear and concise food safety science was not followed in the implementation of this effort, but rather protectionist special-interest rhetoric,” said John P. Connelly, president of the National Fisheries Institute, a trade group for the seafood industry."
A protectionist measure.
Eliminating it is seen by Republicans as diminishing their power.
