I think you must not have actually clicked on the link to the article I linked and actually looked at the photo of the room in the Chinese workshop where the pig intestines are processed.
Let me describe it to you. The walls are covered with thick, black mold, old splashed blood, and peeling paint. The buckets holding the intestines are rusty. The man cleaning the intestines does not have his hair covered.
In an unclean environment, contamination is inevitable.
It really doesn't take much effort to create and maintain a clean work environment, but there doesn't appear to be the dimmest conception that this is desirable.
This may seem entirely beside the point since the contaminant was deliberately introduced, a cheaper chemical which would pass the common tests. Same thing with the contaminated pet food last year, a deliberate cynical adulteration.
I would not knowingly buy any food or drug manufactured in China. I won't even buy Lee Kum Kee anymore.
Last year I threw away hundreds of dollars worth of Chinese foodstuffs, condiments, herbs, dried mushrooms, spices, etc. I don't have a problem with Chinese textiles, etc., but on this point I won't budge. |
