Outsourcing food safety regulation to China won't guarantee safe imported food due to different standards and lack of incentives for Chinese manufacturers. To ensure food safety in the US, increasing domestic production is the best approach, but it's challenging due to consumer demand. Traditional enforcement tools like inspections are crucial for imported food safety. When the FDA directly supervises imports, regulatory costs rise, leading to better food safety and fair competition between domestic and imported foods. Without strict regulation, producers don't prioritize food safety. Regulatory power over food safety cannot be handed off.
