A study by the FDA of 10 year's of food import violations found that food imported into the US from countries with a low GDP. "'The size of a country's economy appears to be a more important determinant of food safety than its wealth,' or GDP per capita." "The researchers kept in mind that high-GDP countries may be better able to reduce risks through standards and regulations. As a result, importers may wish to pay more for products from high-GDP countries or work more closely with suppliers from low-GDP countries to ensure good safety practices."
