Let me start with a question, and I want you to be honest with yourself, because nobody hears your answer but you. When you pick up a piece of food, whether it is a bag of shrimp from halfway around the world or a package of chicken from down the road, you carry a quiet belief in the back of your mind. You believe that somewhere along the way, before it ever reached your hands, someone actually checked it. Someone walked into that factory. Someone inspected that farm. Someone made sure it was clean and safe before it was allowed to be sold to you and your children. Sit with that for a second. Because today I am going to tell you the bitter truth. Heading into 2027, that someone is disappearing. The inspections you have always assumed were happening are quietly not happening anymore. And the food on your plate, both the food that comes from overseas and the food grown right here at home, is passing through with almost nobody checking it at all. Learn more about your ad choices.
