A lot of what you buy in first world supermarkets is directly white-labeled from third world countries. I wouldn't bank on the brand on the label having stringent and regular inspection processes, or any at all.

The only thing you can be sure of is that your milk and produce aren't adulterated.

In some (most?) EU countries they do have fairly stringent checks. Of course the quantities coming in from outside the EU are immense, but to protect their market from unfair competition not complying with EU regulation they have strong intensives to have fairly regular inspections.
