Last year it was toxic pet food. Then toxic toothpaste (put in bootlegged Colgate tubes to boot). Now it is toxic powered milk. Yesterday it was toxic candy. Today - toxic instant coffee.
A couple of years ago, a farmer in the US imported a cow from Canada suspected to have mad cow disease. No one got sick - no one ate tained meat but countries like Japan and Korea banned all US beef and Korea is only now thinking of lifting that ban. Some countries are still banning beef from the UK. Literally 50,000+ chinese kids are in the hospital, some have died yet no countries are banning Chinese products. And its not due to bacteria or lax cleanliness. It is due to companies adding chemicals to watered down milk to make it appear to have the correct nutrition levels. I was watching CNN yesterday; a company in China that makes dumplings is using shreaded newspaper and cardboard for the filling (along with some meat, spices, etc.). Yum.
I'm personally checking labels and not buying food products from China.
