China’s food safety issue has long been worsening.
Over 10,000 Chinese food products have additives,
and an adult in China consumes on average
80 to 90 kinds of additives per day.
Internet author “Ni Lai Shuo Shuo Hao Bu” writes
sarcastically that contaminated food
should be served at national banquets
in the Great Hall of the People,
and a “Chinese¬-Style” menu should read:
”Dish 1: Tainted Meat Balls,
made with “lean meat powder,” contaminated pork,
and toxic water from Ting river
polluted by Zijin Minding Group.”
”Dish 2: Szechuan Hotpot,
made with swill-cooked oil, and spices like DDVP,
artificial coloring, plaster,
and opium powder for flavor enhancement.”
”Dish 3: Special Beef Skewer,
prepared with “special beef” made from pork.
First, the pork is deodorized with maltol;
then we spread “beef cream” over the pork;
and lastly, we cook the pork to turn it into beef.”
”Dish 4: Black Fungus with Creamy Cabbage,
prepared with asphalt, ink, glue-treated fungus,
and melamine-contaminated milk power.”
The most flavorful dishes
are made with antibiotics-treated abalone,
sulfate-smoked shark fins, formalin-treated
sea cucumbers, fake fish maw made with pig skin,
industrial salt treated dry oysters,
phosphor powder-bleached abalone mushrooms,
Sudan-red-colored pigeon eggs,
and contraceptive pills-fed turtles.
For stable foods, there is fake rice and pea cakes,
made with stale grains, and dyed steamed buns.
For beverages, there is industrial alcohol liquor
and fake wine made with artificial coloring,
flavors, and various industrial additives.
China food safety problems
have been causing scares internationally,
and abuses of additives play a crucial role.
Chinese media reported that additives were found
in food products from preserved vegetables to jelly;
16 kinds of additives were found in ice cream,
while 14 were found in instant noodles.
Over 90% of food products contain additives,
and over 2000 additives in total were used
in everyday food products.
Zhaong Jianbo, researcher at the Chinese Center
of Disease Control: “In many cases, food without
additives are even less safe. With no preservatives
added, instant noodles will go bad in under 2 days.”
However, research contradicts Zhang’s claim.
Studies show that many modern diseases
are caused by chemical additives.
Clenbuterol, known as “lean meat powder,”
is one of many such harmful chemicals.
Dr. Zhao Lin at the PLA General Hospital believes
that it is a serious problem when financial gains
are driving manufactures to abuse food additives.
Prof. Wu Jingming at China University of Political
Science and Law, says that laws in China
are not comprehensive enough to control
the food supply chain. Regulative agencies
prove incompetent in areas such as agriculture,
sanitation, quality control, and commerce.
Moreover, technology in food safety testing
is outdated in China. All of the above
have contributed to the additives’ abuse problem.
