Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The FDA verifies imported foods meet US safety standards, which is a key control for foodborne illness prevention.
• Option B: USDA regulates certain foods, but this is not the main control for all foodborne illness prevention related to imports/overall.
• Option C: HACCP is used in production, but the question is about industry controls (regulatory/monitoring), not just production systems.
• Option D: Not all trading countries routinely monitor, and this is not a primary industry - wide control.
• Option E: The statement about farm - to - table eliminating concerns is incorrect as food safety concerns still exist.

Answer:

A. The FDA requires verification that imported foods have been produced and handled in keeping with US food safety standards
