Importing Danger: How Wal-Mart’s Massive Imports from China Threaten America’s Food Supply

Wal-Mart Is No Longer An American Company
Wal-Mart imports the vast majority of the products it sells – including much of its food – from overseas, particularly China. This means less regulation, poorer oversight and untrustworthy supply sources for America’s food, in addition to the loss of American jobs.                                                                                                                                   

Wal-Mart Sources Food From China
Wal-Mart pushes suppliers overseas, forcing them to do business where labor and parts are cheaper, but poorly regulated. Buying American and buying local supports domestic farmers and allows consumers to know where their food originates.

Wal-Mart Opposes Food Regulations and Import Inspections
Wal-Mart has a history of opposing additional food safety regulations and port inspections for goods from overseas. Once again, the company puts profits before consumer safety. If Wal-Mart is concerned that increased inspections would slow down the import process, it should join the fight to increase funding for the FDA rather than endanger the public.
