Executive Summary
FDA wants to stop food and dietary ingredients denied entry into the U.S. at one port from gaining access at another port through the practice of port shopping, according to a proposed rule in the Sept. 18 Federal Register. The proposal would require food shippers to clearly label food as being "refused entrance" in the U.S. if an inspector denies the import for safety concerns.
