Ban all food imports from China!



Source: New York Times



ZHANGQIU, China, April 28 ? As American food safety regulators head to China to investigate how a chemical made from coal found its way into pet food that killed dogs and cats in the United States, workers in this heavily polluted northern city openly admit that the substance is routinely added to animal feed as a fake protein.



For years, producers of animal feed all over China have secretly supplemented their feed with the substance, called melamine, a cheap additive that looks like protein in tests, even though it does not provide any nutritional benefits, according to melamine scrap traders and agricultural workers here.



?Many companies buy melamine scrap to make animal feed, such as fish feed,? said Ji Denghui, general manager of the Fujian Sanming Dinghui Chemical Company, which sells melamine. ?I don?t know if there?s a regulation on it. Probably not. No law or regulation says ?don?t do it,? so everyone?s doing it. The laws in China are like that, aren?t they? If there?s no accident, there won?t be any regulation.?

In recent years, for instance, China?s food safety scandals have involved everything from fake baby milk formulas and soy sauce made from human hair to instances where cuttlefish were soaked in calligraphy ink to improve their color and eels were fed contraceptive pills to make them grow long and slim.
