  "If it's a commodity that has no history of violations, it'll probably pass right on through," said Dan Sowards, food safety officer for the Texas Department of State Health Services, which regulates distribution centers that often house imported food.

  Dan Sowards, a food safety officer for the Texas Department of State Health Services, said ethnic markets can pose more of a sanitation hazard because of the way some imported products are processed.
  
  But he said just because a product is exotic, it doesn't mean it is tainted or unsafe."You might find dried bats in a Nigerian store, or fried ants," Sowards said.

  The U.S. food supply is considered among the safest in the world, but there are many points in the processing chain where a terrorist could tamper with a product, said Dan Sowards, food and drug safety officer for the Texas Department of State Health Services.
  
  "You might have 28 nodes in there where a terrorist could potentially attack," Sowards said at the conference.
  
  Imported products are one of the biggest worry points, he added.There are only about 800 federal inspectors nationwide, and just 2 percent of imported food products get inspected, Sowards said.
