You beat me to it! ;-)

Here's the same article from the horse's mouth (Washington Post):

One of the amazing things in the article is that food that is rejected is simply
turned back, only to have that very same shipment show up a second and sometimes
even a third time. You'd think they would seize and destroy it.

Bon Appetit! ;-)

In the somewhat related topic of country of origin labeling, I saw something
I've never seen before on a bag of frozen brussels sprouts. Country of Origin:
Belguim! I was expecting the normal Mexico, Guatemala, or other such country.
(Not that I've ever bought frozen brussels sprouts since the labeling regulation
came into effect.)
