"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) are responsible for ensuring that all foods,
including imports, comply with our food safety laws. The FDA and USDA
monitor fruit, grain, meat, and dairy products for contaminants,
including pesticide residues. Under U.S. food safety laws, foods
found to contain residues of a pesticide for which no allowable
pesticide limit (tolerance) exists, or that exceed an allowable
tolerance, are considered to be adulterated. Such foods are
prohibited from sale in the United States."
Also, fromage de savoie is apparently only purchasable in the US if it is aged 65 days or more.
Another item banned is "Starlink" a type of GM corn (Genetically Modified).
You can also check out link 4 below, for the FDA information on food and drinks.
Unfortunately, I generally found a lot more about countries banning foods sent from the US than the other way around, so this was a hard one to research! You might also want to look on the USDA website.

I would think that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and / or World Health Organization (WHO).
I think it just used to be the FDA, but this WHO organization seems to pop into a lot of issues, so I'm not positive. I think FDA is below the WHO in "rank." I probably confused you more though, lol. Sorry, I tried. Just stick the the FDA.
