@@ginaboyle2204 omg dude I love Billie but she changed her Instagram username as she found out those avocados contain insects
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?
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.

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.

+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.

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

d0h playd0h would you rather see a small amount of fruits and veggies that potentially have bugs that, if introduced to America will eat and spread to all the vegetables and fruit, live or just get rid of them
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
@Boarbot 78 My question exactly!
Average American safety logic.
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.
wouldn't it make more sense to confiscate the food before it left the country
Not all airport, especially from outside the USA, perform these types of vigorous checks. Besides, even if that was done, they still can't take any chances.
Don’t bring the goddamn food in the first place
@@Frozo-nt2ky hungry
I get how fresh fruit and veg can be dangerous but candy and packaged meat?
Some bacteria and parasites can grow in forgein meats and candies that livestock/plants or even humans in the country it was imported to may not have any immunity to it which could cause a pandemic.
You can buy 100% of this shit at international markets. No point to any of this.

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....

+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.

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.

They took my chocolate from England. But let me keep my gummy candy from Germany. It makes no since what they take. lol
Shane Certain foods are harmful and others aren’t. Also they could’ve completely ignored the Candy or they were paying no attention.
Bugs live in chocolate. Sorry I ruined your entire life. I left my valentine chocolates at home for 1 1/2 years and there were holes coming out of the chocolates. It was not air bubbles. It was what the bug ate.
@@charlottehu2388 Wow, who would've thought that leaving something out in the open for more than a year would leat to bugs?
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.
I feel that this video will just increase smuggling by like 500%, they never mention any sort of legal action, they just throw it away.

m taufiq gani putra Why do people think we eat dogs. I don't know any person that eats a dog. It's just disturbing and gross. And if people do eat dogs it's probably for extreme situations of starvation and survival.
Dont blame the us customs for wasting the food. Blame the idiots who knowingly disobey the laws on controlled foods
Comon, cant they save some of this food?!?!
This is pretty sad...

Laverne Richards Because its juice. you mong.

We literally have to throw away this food because invasive species can ruin our agriculture
@@singingsheepytps9240 Correction, we can't let the food in our country, don't HAVE to destroy it.
