Does the EU have a centralized food testing agency?

  It does have a food safety agency, but this is a classic international trade problem that is solved at the border since the EU is a trade union.

    Or in this case - purposefully NOT solved. Who wants to bet "Mercosur" agricultural products won't be checked at the border and will - surprise - turn out to have "issues". Has the forced labor agriculture in South America been solved yet? Nope: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_trafficking_in_South_America#History_of_human_trafficking_in_the_region https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_trafficking_in_South_Ame... I guess not. Will the EU check? Hah! Has nature protection been solved yet? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deforestation_in_Brazil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deforestation_in_Brazil Nope. Will the EU check? Hah! The EU makes their companies to compete against slavery. First in China, religious-ethnic slavery. Now in South America, also mostly ethnic slavery.
