These Food Exports are Off-Limits in the US

Black tea from China is widely enjoyed, but it is not always clean. Some samples contain pesticide levels above global safety standards, which may cause nausea or long-term health problems. Poor storage also allows mold or fungus to grow during shipping.

Mold spores can survive boiling water and enter your cup. Some sellers also mislabel low-grade tea as premium. Without strong oversight, quality becomes hard to trust. While tea is usually a healthy drink, contaminated batches make it risky.
