"A United States senator has warned Chinese garlic is a national security risk to Americans and called for an investigation into the food item.

Republican Senator Rick Scott has urged members of congress to act against the unsafe Chinese garlic, which he believes the country is "dumping" onto Americans. He said garlic products were flagged as in a state of unsanitary conditions.
....
Senator Scott argues all types of garlic should be looked into and that there is an "existential emergency" brewing in the garlic trade between the US and China. He added: "Food safety and security is an existential emergency that poses grave threats to our national security, public health, and economic prosperity." But previous research into the garlic trade found "No evidence" of sewage fertilisation being used by Chinese garlic farmers. A scientist has since suggested sewage fertilizer could even be "safer" than first thought.

The Office for Science and Society at McGill University explained the use of the sewage fertiliser in a report drafted back in 2017. It read: "In any case, there is no problem with this. Human waste is as effective a fertilizer as is animal waste. Spreading human sewage on fields that grow crops doesn't sound appealing, but it is safer than you might think.""
