“食品安全关系到我们在吃什么，它的产地具体是哪里，以及它从产出到送到餐桌上这一系列流程是什么。如果我们对此一无所知那是相当可怕的。” 葛谟如是说。

　　据《纽约邮报》报道，葛谟认为目前被标记有机产品并销遍全美的农产品一部分来自于“污染大国”中国。

　　“我们许多的食品产自中国。”他在布朗士的一家超市门口举办发布会如是说，“但是那里80%的土地被污染过，20%的水源已然不纯净。”

　　“你根本不知道这些食物是怎么生产出来的。”葛谟认为更应当加强对食品监管力度，尤其应推广纽约州生产和认证的食物。

　　不过近年来，美国本土的食品安全问题也愈发严重，从去年多数州的禽流感问题到今年Costco多次发生食品紧急召回事件，使得民众对美国自身的食品安全也深感担忧。

 

Cuomo questions ‘organic’ food imported from China

 

(New York Post) August 11, 2016

 

Donald Trump isn’t the only pol going after China.

 

Gov. Cuomo questioned the safety of food grown in China Thursday as he promoted a program to certify farm produce grown in New York State.

 

“Food safety is knowing what we eat and where it came from and how it was handled,” he said. “The lack of knowledge is frightening.”

 

The governor added that food labeled “organic” and sold in the United States can come from polluted land in China.

 

“China is producing a lot of our food,” he said during a press conference at the Hunts Point wholesale market in The Bronx.

“Their official reports say 80 percent of the land is polluted, 20 percent of the water is polluted,” Cuomo continued.

“Organic from China – You don’t really know how these products were grown. The FDA inspects one percent of products that come in and, when you walk down the aisle of a grocery store, it is like the United Nations. This from China, This from Turkey. This from Argentina. What does it mean and what are you eating?”

 

Cuomo announced regulations to more clearly define, label and regulate food through a “New York State Grown and Certified Program.”

 

He also promised to modernize the Hunts Point Food Market and expand its capacity, a move he said will create 150 construction jobs and 95 new permanent jobs at the distribution hub.
