Globalization of the food supply chain provides economic benefits to consumers. The U.S. currently receives 25,000 shipments of imported food each day. Imports have captured a large share of the market with 92 percent of fresh and frozen seafood, 75 percent of the apple juice, and 52 percent of the grapes consumed coming from outside the U.S. Food retailers and processors obtain an increasing amount of their products from developing countries where production costs are low and there is virtually no government regulation.

Monitoring imported food products for chemical contaminants has become a major consumer health and safety concern. Regulatory agencies in the U.S., Europe and Japan have established maximum chemical contaminant levels for food products that trigger legal action to remove products from the market.

This regulatory framework has established screening procedures for contaminants and ingredients commonly associated with food products, (e.g.; pesticide residues, preservatives).
