China Continues To Fool U.S. Companies

Check out this quote from the Washington Post:

Amid growing revelations that suppliers in China frequently spike pet food and other food ingredients with contaminants to boost profits, momentum is building in Washington to bolster the Food and Drug Administration's capacity to detect and screen out adulterated imports.

Several Chinese suppliers conceded over the weekend that adding melamine to pet food ingredients — now blamed for the deaths of many animals in the United States and possible contamination of the human food supply — is but the latest technique for fooling U.S. companies into thinking they are purchasing a high-quality product.

It's been 44 days since the initial press release from the Menu Foods Income Fund that was not to be released over U.S. newswires, and we are now learning that the melamine was put in the pet food intentionally.

If this doesn't make you step back and wonder exactly what is in other products imported from China, I don't know what will.

Hasn't China been "fooling U.S. companies into thinking they are purchasing a high-quality product" for many years now?
