China Defends Safety of Its Exports
July 5, 2007
Officials recently confirmed that thousands of tubes of Chinese-made toothpaste containing diethylene glycol (DEG) were shipped to hospitals and correctional facilities in the Southwest, revealing that the distribution of the tainted products was more widespread than previously thought. In a rare statement, Chinese officials guaranteed the safety of these and other Chinese exports, such as recently confiscated fish and melamine-tainted wheat gluten.

I'm convinced that the business people of China would just as soon poison Americans as feed us. I read the other day that now 75% of the garlic on grocery store shelves is coming from China! Yikes. I EAT garlic.
My latest scare is about Chinese FISH imports. The fish being sent to us from China is so gross that the FDA is actually rejecting some shipments!! For once the FDA is doing something right!
"China became the leading exporter of seafood to the U.S. in 2004 – and amounts are rising fast. Chinese imports were up 14 percent in 2005 and 23 percent in 2006. This year, so far, they are up 34 percent over 2006."
