1. Imported Seafood
Seafood is one of the most commonly imported foods worldwide, and unfortunately, one of the riskiest. Fish and shrimp raised or caught in countries with weak regulations are often exposed to polluted waters or treated with chemicals to extend shelf life.
Because seafood spoils quickly, it’s often frozen and shipped long distances under questionable storage conditions. This increases the risk of bacterial contamination. In addition, some imported seafood may be mislabeled or injected with water and preservatives to appear fresher than it really is.
Tip: If you must buy imported seafood, look for trusted brands and ensure it’s been properly frozen and stored.
