In wake of concerns about carcinogens and contaminants in seafood produced in China and other countries, a bill to step up inspections of seafood imports moved through the US Senate Commerce Committee today. Senator Ted Stevens is a co-sponsor of the legislation. He says only a small fraction of imported seafood is inspected now.Joel Southern, APRN - Washington, DC
