@@shaneohlutydugan3641 2 words: invasive species
2 words a predator that eats it
Wait. She never explained how getting rid of all this food helps save the agriculture. Can someone explain this to me?
if there is any insect in the food coming from outside that the american agricultural plants are not immune to or used to ,then sometimes it can cause famines and crop failure.
Invasive species
It gets rid of any insects that can carry a viruse or a pest
Sometime the fruits, veggies, or meat have a little stowaway (such as a bug) that could really mess with our agriculture. It's not just the US. I've seen it on an Australian and a NZ show about customs and border protection where this is a common occurrence.
But we're not like eat it right in a farm field, so why does it matter?
There better at throwing food away than finding weapons

cause maybe they hid the weapon in the fruit
Duh its easier lmao
If she has a bit of juice on her like she said then she really needs to shower first before leaving the facility. The entire point of confiscating food items is to prevent the spread of plant diseases across international borders and if she has juice on her at the end of the day when she goes home this kind of defeats the purpose because that juice could have some harmful disease that will get loose into the environment.
+1973Washu I'm sure she showers.....
+1973Washu The diseases are usually on the skin.
+1973Washu The smell of juice is not automatically actual juice, but I wouldn't feel at all bad about making all customs employees who handle contraband take a shower before leaving their workplace. It is no more unreasonable than confiscated cut fruit with no insects visible in it. Rather than post here send your suggestion to the Health and Agricultural committees of Congress.

No wonder U.S.A is known for throwing food xd
Starllet Nixie the first time I went there I was shocked on how many food were thrown away
They probably chuck that much away which is why people have to work harder to make it again, more quickly as the amount increases. I don't know why they don't test it and use the food for people who don't have it. I guess they are just stupid.
They have to thought to avoid invasive species or microorganisms the plants can’t handle
Oliver do you have any idea how that would work, or how much that would cost? You would have to confiscate, then scan every item, then somehow get it back to the person it belongs to, and still have the risk to American Agriculture.
Starllet Nixie yet the US suffers from obesity 💀💀💀
How sad that so much food is wasted... The only way to really prevent this is just to not bring food when travelling.We cannot change the fact that it will be confiscated and thrown out, but we can prevent the waste from happening by not bringing contraband foods across borders in the first place.
If you studied environmental science, this will make a lot of sense and you won't get ashamed of food wastage. She's right, it needs to be confiscated because it harms the US flora and fauna. Other countries should do the same
@@ibvghgfvbnbc You should re-read Teagans comment, you seem to have misunderstood. She's simply stating that if people didn't bring food over boarders illegally, it wouldn't get wasted.

Tbh there’s no way that some packaged and processed serrano ham from Spain is gonna destroy the American agricultural system. WHERE DO YOU EXPECT THE INSECT OR DISEASE TO BE IN A PACKAGE THAT HAS BEEN SALTED AND CURED FOR MONTHS, THEN VACUUM SEELED?
You’re an idiot. Meat and fruit can not only have bugs but also diseases. Sure, there probably isn’t a bug, but why take the risk? Invasive species can wipe out swathes of life. An example of this is the potato blight in Ireland, where 1 million Irish people died from that alone
@@Frozo-nt2ky but from the look it was like one side was completely clear also ham is aged and cured for 8 months or so for some premium ham and also like he said vacuum sealed
Ham is not the same as sterile. It’s cured. Not devoid of microbes and insects. Science

Why is beef candy illegal
blueyess blueyess Three words: Mad Cow disease
Makes sense
Because the GOV has to show how big there dicks are.
why would you buy candy that tastes like beef
Human health risks in this case. Probably because China has very lax food regulations so meat, eggs, and dairy may not be made of the products you think of (like jello eggs or concrete filled walnuts) as well as they might have diseases. And jerky traditionally isn’t cooked but semi fermented. and also they probably confiscated it so it’s not sold in US stores and posing a health risk That’s why it’s hard to find Chinese food outside of import stores. Luckily the Chinese government is trying to help people from buying these fake food products, especially meats.
I understand the fresh food but I dont get what's wrong with the packaged foods?
jaiden mcdonald they didn’t buy them from the airport

+oil88 Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, degenerative, invariably fatal brain disorder. It affects about one person in every one million people per year worldwide; in the United States there are about 300 cases per year. This is why you can't bring in beef. Pork is the same thing but there is a huge list for that. Most of these diseases can stay dormant no matter how the meat is prepared.
+footytang its not contagious so who gives a fat fuk
+Albert M Picard you are both patently offensive, and entirely fucking wrong. creutzfeldt jakob disease CANNOT be passed down if you "catch" it. it can be passed down by a genetic mutation that is something your parents would have been born with. "People can also acquire CJD genetically through a mutation of the gene that codes for the prion protein (PRNP). This occurs in only 5-10% of all CJD cases."
+Albert M Picard LEARN TO USE PUNCTUATION, MORON.
footytang so the same meat being consumed in spain is going to be ok but once it flew into the US it will increase the risk? :S I know what you mean, but I also think they need better system to block products. I live in HK, we can bring in this type of cured products however much we want. nobody got sick from them either! There is no regulation importing anything like that here. plus we eat chicken feet for breakfast
Basically a massive food waste. Very sad.
+shanyaraleonie It would be a bigger waste if a fruit-fly got into the California citrus crop. Oh wait that happened.
+shanyaraleonie The whole point is so that other plants don't die, if you think that it is a waste you don't have a problem with these people you have a problem with the people sending the contraband in.
+shanyaraleonie The waste comes from idiots who are unaware of importation laws.
+shanyaraleonie Yeah, that's right, let's just let all the insects and diseases into our country to destroy our agriculture, that would be much better than wasting a (relatively) small amount of food.
+shanyaraleonie Yeah, why'd those people even bring the food to be wasted? Don't think I've ever brought food to an airport before.

It’s actually about money, it’s the tax that they did not get from you.
Well I may contain invasive parasites or bacteria as well, they should throw me into trash.
Rosalba hamer we don't eat unless the government says we can
well no it's not, most first world countries such as america have tests which produce has to go through before it can be imported to places america, these same tests do not have to be conducted in the country of origin, therefore everything that's tested for could possibly be in the fruits, meats etc which these people are bringing over. This can be anything from harmful bugs, different strands of bacteria that specifically effect plants and/or animals, viruses all things which they'd be testing before it was imported legally

How does getting rid of perfectly wrapped salami protect American agriculture?
+truhls No, it wasn't because of mold, it was because of a contagious viral disease that affects pigs in Italy, Swine Vesicular Disease. The ban was partly lifted in May 2013 after several regions of Italy were declared disease free by the FDA, Lombardia, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto and Piemonte, and the provinces of Trento and Bolzano. These areas produce the best salami.
truhls I appreciate this answer. I honestly did not know. Truthfully in the end, it won't stop the loss of organic life that is taking place around the world. Take a look at this: www.churchfreedom.org/stewardship-of-the-planet-earth/

Maria Chirokova two things diseases and invasive species. diseases that we aren't exposed to before can result in a epidemic that would be difficult to control invasive species are worse since they not only adapt to their new environment they thrive to where they do harm to the environment and unless they have predators to counter the numbers (in which most don't have) they would over grow and keep taking more
The avocados may have plant diseases in them that can spread to crops in the U.S causing food shortages.
Beef candy is pretty much beef jerky...
I just subscribed and the videos are amazing But, they are really short. Are there longer versions of them or this is it?
I know right
+Captain Fur-Ball I think the brevity of the videos is kind of the point...
I like the shortness, it gets the point across, so you don't waste your life on a two hour documentary about food when you were looking for a lasagna recipe.... :P
There are the compilations and the Great Big Stories (I think that's their name) wich both are 10 minutes +.
I think my grandma might have threatened you for the whole mango thing 😂
It's sad to see that many people hated this method. Please reminder that 1 foreign insect is a threat to agriculture.
Most fruit in USA originated elsewhere
How the ham and champagne? You think live bugs are hiding in there?
How the fuck is beef candy a threat to our environment?
Forgein bacteria’s and parasites can grow in it that the population may have no immunity to which could cause a pandemic.
because beef is not a candy you dummy.
Either answer should suffice, so take your pick.
That's not how that works, or we would have have terrorists starting pandemics with beef candies. Awful logic.
Kevvy Kim I'm strictly talking about how pandemics arise. Pandemics are typically global events.
I had Japanese packaged curry confiscated by customs. It was annoying since Japanese food is as clean if not cleaner than US food.
Business Insider also has a video on this same topic, but explained much better. So if you’re curious about why it’s necessary to destroy this food, then please check out that video.
Now I know, how do I bring back snacks for my relatives back home now?
protect american agriculture, waste food. best strategy EVER.
Why she throwing out beef jerky. I cross beef jerky a lot. And yet the cops don't say anything or confiscate it.
AVeryHappyTeddyBear Your key word is extremely "rare". You have a one in a million chance for something to go wrong and you are going to lock everything down, just because the risk is there? When you eat food, you always have a chance of getting a food borne illness. Should you stop eating in that case? That's a terrible argument. So stop shit-posting it.
AVeryHappyTeddyBear classic CDJ isn't even linked to contaminated beef. What are you talking about? Not to mention that it's vCDJ that is transmitted through meat and is rarer than the original. Most people who contract CDJ inherit it from their parents through viral DNA replacement. Which brings me back to my original argument. It's so rare (a literal less than one in a million chance) that even lifting the restrictions wouldn't suddenly cause mass infection. It's transmission is very difficult. So why take annoying restrictions against something that literally occurs once in a million.
All I know is Africans wouldn't mind the free food....
That's one of those things America is good at
This is common in other counties such as Australia. I too think it’s stupid and believe that they’re going over the top, but it is possible for food to contain bugs and their eggs. If they enter the US and aren’t controlled they can wipe out entire species of plants and other bugs. Here in the UK, this has happened with Tarantulas hiding in bunches of bananas.
So even sealed packaged food items are confiscated?! Seems a little overboard if there's no way for insects or bacteria to enter. What if you just mail the stuff you wanted to bring back? Would it still get confiscated even if there's no insects or bacteria?
i legit want this job now
0:06 don’t mess with Haiti 🇭🇹 😂 #proudhaitian
I have 90 questions
