GREAT LIFE AND MORE - 10 FOODS MADE IN CHINA YOU MUST AVOID (FILLED WITH PLASTIC AND CANCER CAUSING CHEMICALS)

Published on Jan 2, 2017
China is well known for its great cuisine and specific taste as well as many different products we use daily. Chinese restaurants are spread all around the globe and it is slowly creating a cult of the Chinese culture. However, lately there are some rumors about lack of standards in Chinese products and people slowly start to avoid importing Chinese goods and is very easy to understand why.

Another thing which is China known for are its fake, cheap products sold all around the world via Amazon, eBay, AliExpress and many more online websites. These products are very cheap and lack quality. They often contain prohibited toxic substances and are fake. These online sites offer food shipped directly from the country.

Here we are offering you a list of 10 illegal food products from China and we advise you to think twice before buying them. You don’t know which hazardous substances may this food contain and it’s shipped directly from across the ocean.

The list below are only ten examples of illegal counterfeit food product from China, that may make you think twice about purchasing food from online sources that ship from across the ocean.

1. Imitation Eggs:
Some Chinese websites have instructional videos on how to make $70 a day by producing and selling fake eggs. The chemicals that are required are “Alginic Acid, Potassium Alum, Gelatin, Calcium Chloride, water and artificial color.” The eggshells are made from Calcium Carbonate. Eating these eggs may cause memory-loss and dementia.

2. Walnuts stuffed with cement:
In 2012 a man purchased shelled walnuts in Zhengzhou city, China only to find broken concrete pieces inside. The concrete was wrapped in paper to prevent it from making a suspicious noise when the nut was shaken. The vendor who sold the walnuts was trying to gain more profit by selling these fake nuts that were much heavier than the real thing.

3. Making beef out of pork:
Pork is less expensive in China so some restaurants sell it instead of beef – but not before they perform some chemistry on it. What they use are a beef extract and a glazing agent to “marinate” the meat in for 90 minutes. Doctors have advised people to stay away from this fake product as its long-term use may cause “slow poisoning, deformity, and even cancer.”

4. Fake green peas:
In 2005, fake peas were found in Hunan province, China. According to a local newspaper, the peas were still hard after boiling, yet turned the water unnatural green color. The fake peas were reported to be very profitable, and one of the illegal workshops was producing them for three years before it was investigated. The fake peas were created with snow peas and soy beans, added with green dye and sodium metabisulfite (used as bleach and preservative). This dye is forbidden to use on produce because it may cause cancer, as well as obstruct the body’s ability to absorb calcium.

“Such toxic artificial green peas have been found in Hunan and Guangdong before, but it looks like the news didn’t catch enough attention from the officials,” said Sang Liwei, a Beijing-based food safety expert.

In China, officials only label a case a “food safety incident” when at least one person dies as the result of it, according to the source.

“In cases like this, where the danger only lies in possible long-term diseases caused by the misuse of additives, it’s not surprising to see lagged handlings,” said Sang Liwei.

5. Baby formula:
In 2004, 47 people were accused of producing fake instant baby formula that led to dozens of children dying in Fuyang, China, reported CBS News. The formula contained very few nutrients, was likely made of chalk, and made the children develop a “big head disease,” which made their heads swell and the rest of their bodies slowly deteriorate.

6. Industrial salt sold as table salt:
Industrial salt is labeled “unfit for human consumption.” Yet it is much cheaper, which is why 788 tons of it was sold by at least 12 people over the course of 13 years as table salt. The industrial salt can cause mental and physical issues, such as hypothyroid problems and reproductive system disorders.

7. Mud sold as black pepper:
A market vendor in China’s Guangdong Province collected local mud and sold it as black pepper, while their white pepper was mainly made out of flour. His excuse for justifying selling these fake items was that they “would not kill people.”

Considering that fake foods in China do not get investigated until someone dies, how many more items are sold made of fake items and chemicals because they “would not kill people.”
