I thought about that after I posted... In my mind I was picturing June Cleaver (Beaver's mother) standing at the sink in her dress, pearls, and high heel shoes...

We have quite a few (indoor) international markets, but they, at least in theory, still must meet health standards. I would love to visit a large market like that!

I can't wait until I can hire a teacher to let me know what I'm actually seeing!
When my son came to visit while we were living here the first time, he owned a deli/restaurant in the US. The one thing that stuck in his mind was the sign he's see in all the restaurants and markets; "We sell clean food!" There don't seem to be ANY standards required here, but oddly enough, there is very little food poisoning. We are careful to avoid vendors who look like they are dying, and avoid street food that has been 'stacked up,' requesting freshly made instead, and might get a case of the 'G.I. Blues' once every few years. No more often than I'd get it in the States.
