China’s food safety crises

Tweet

The Chinese authorities have been cracking down on unsavory merchants who are selling food stuffs that aren’t fit for human consumption. Vegetable sellers have been spraying their cabbages with formaledhyde to keep them fresh. China has countless food safety scandels such as poisonous milk powder, dyed bread rolls, using old leather shoes which are used to make jelly and yogurt. Sellers are even using chemicals to make eggs and pigs ears. The Chinese can’t trust their cooking oil either, because it is dredged from restaurant’s gutters and resold it is known as "gutter oil". Oil is even made from rotting animal parts and industrial fats that are to make soap. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration has requested funding to hire 16 more inspectors to protect the U.S. consumers. I don’t see why the U. S. will want to import Chinese food stuff when they can’t control their food safety. If this was our government dropping the ball on food safety the Chinese government would ban our imports.
