Foreign Fruit Safety?!
I love fruit but I am concerned about food-born illnesses!. I notice that the blackberries in my supermarket are from Mexico!. The apples I like are from Israel!. I notice a lot of the fruit I like is from overseas!. Any suggestions or information that may put my worries to rest!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would love you to tell you that you will be perfectly ok eating any fruit and to some extent you are!. Importers are not importing fruit in order to kill you! But just look at the quality of the fruit check for rot or anything like that!.
Lately i have been more worried about what pesticides and harmful chemicals are being used on fruit and veg imported from overseas!. That is why i generally buy from my local farmers market!. Not only is the produce grown in country but i can meet the growers and many are organically certified and dont use harmful chemicals!. If you are really worried finding a farmers market in your area or a place that sells local produce might be your best bet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
