Imported foods and drugs closely watched by USDA bureau
The United States Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Chemistry inspects and analyzes imported foods and drugs to prevent misbranding or adulteration under the federal act. Labs operate at branch offices in major ports, with shipments scrutinized and relabeled releases used when possible. War effects, embargoes, and demand from foreign-born populations shape ongoing imports including coffee, spices, oils, and wines while some categories remain restricted.
