“Organic” Food from China Highly Contaminated

As people get informed about how important the organic food is so does the world’s demand of such products. 

Only in the USA, every year organic food sales increase at least by 20%. 

The domestic supplies could not satisfy such enormous demand so in order to keep the market in stock, the vendors should look internationally.
A great part of the imports come from the European Union, but their organic standards differ from those in America. 

Also, a significant part of them are from China, which provides low quality and low food safety standards.

Much of the organic production that comes from China is unsafe, even the Chinese farmers won’t consume it themselves. 

Then, what’s the point of organic food if it is not safe?
This implies that some of the food labelled as “organic” was never intended to be organic. 

It was simply a result of the substandard Chinese production. 

The US Customs tends to reject entire imports of food from China because of the presence of dangerous additives, drug residues, poor hygiene and mislabeling. 

In order, not to be rejected, the Chinese exporters labelled their products as organic, especially the unusual and dirty ones.
The Chinese government hasn’t established a system of labelling the truly organic products and those that are not. 

So, the result is a complete mislabeling of the food by the Chinese producers.
Even the “truly organic” food from China is in fact produced in totally contaminated conditions, that people could not handle. 

Most of the Chinese agricultural lands are located along the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, the most polluted rivers in China.
Their pollution is a result of the thousands of factories that are located along these rivers, which infuse their chemicals into the water that in fact irrigate the crops. 

Once, a chemical fertilizer discarded so much ammonia into the Fu river, a tributary of the Yangtze river that immediately killed 110 tons of fish. 

However, this river was still used for agricultural and industrial purposes.
These rivers are also loaded with great amounts of many heavy metals and harmful chemicals as well as the food irrigated with this water. 

The Chinese sewage, bottled drinking water, rice and milk have indicated the presence of perchlorate, the precursor of rocket fuel. 

So, how such food can be organic?
Perchlorate is a toxic substance and an endocrine disruptor. 

Its presence can lead to destabilization of the metabolism, problems in the development of children and thyroid problems.
What a healthy and organic food. 

Definitely not. 

However, some Chinese products tend to more contaminated than others. 

For example, mushrooms, rice, green peas, apples, chicken, fish, garlic and black pepper belong to the most contaminated group of Chinese products that should be avoided.
However, the only way to eat completely organic food is to grow it yourself. 

Such gardens will occupy a small place, improve the local insects especially bees, look attractive and what’s most important, they will provide a completely safe and delicious food.

Poisoning the World

Contaminated food from China now entering the U.S. under the 'organic' label
By J. D. Heyes

The Chinese food production industry is the world's least-regulated and most corrupt, as has repeatedly been proven time and again. 

Now, it appears, there is no trusting anything that comes from China marked "organic."
Natural Health 365 reports that several foods within the country are so contaminated that Chinese citizens don't trust them. 

What's more, the countries that import these tainted foods are putting their citizens at risk.
U.S. Customs personnel often turn away food shipments from China because they contain unsavory additives and drug residues, are mislabeled, or are just generally filthy. 

Some Chinese food exporters have responded by labeling their products "organic," though they are far from it.
There are several factors at play which make Chinese claims of organic unreliable. 

First, environmental pollution from unrestrained and unregulated industrial growth has so polluted soil and waterways with toxic heavy metals that nothing grown in them is safe, much less organic. Also, there is so much fraudulent labeling and rampant corruption within the government and manufacturing sectors that it's not smart to trust what is put on packaging.
In fact, farmers in China use water that is replete with heavy metals, Natural Health 365 noted in a separate report. 

In addition, water used for irrigation also contains organic and inorganic substances and pollutants. Chinese "organic" food is so contaminated that a person could get ill just by handling some of it.
'Dirty water' is all there is
The report noted further: "This is reality – all of China's grains, vegetables and fruits are irrigated with untreated industrial wastewater. The Yellow River, which is considered unusable, supports major food producing areas in the northeast provinces."
Chinese farmers won't even eat the food they produce.

That's because it's clear that China's water pollution issues are so pronounced that it threatens the country's entire food supply.
Chinese farmers have said there is no available water for crops except "dirty water." 

As part of the country's industrial prowess, it is also one of the largest producers (and consumers) of fertilizers and pesticides, Water Politics reported.
The site noted further that as China's industrial might grows, so too does the level of contaminants in the country's water supply. 

Lakes, rivers, streams and falling water tables are becoming more polluted by the year.
In addition to man-made pollutants, animals produce about 90 percent of the organic pollutants and half of the nitrogen in China's water, say experts at the Chinese Academy for Environmental Planning. 

There are times when water is so polluted it turns black – yet it is still used to irrigate crops, and of course, that affects so-called organic farming operations as well.
These nine foods are particularly vulnerable to becoming tainted, Natural Health 365 noted:

1. Fish: Some 80 percent of the tilapia sold in the U.S. come from fish farms in China, as well as half the cod. Water pollution in China is a horrible problem, so any fish grown there are suspect.
2. Chicken: Poultry produced in China is very often plagued with illnesses like avian flu.
3. Apples and apple juice: Only recently has the U.S. moved to allow the importation of Chinese apples, though American producers grow plenty for the country and the world.
4. Rice: Though this is a staple in China and much of the rice in the U.S. comes from there, some of it has been found to be made of plastic, resin and potato.
5. Mushrooms: Some 34 percent of processed mushrooms come from China.
6. Salt: Some salt produced in China for industrial uses has made its way to American dinner tables.
7. Black pepper: One Chinese vendor was trying to pass off mud flakes as pepper.
8. Green peas: Phony peas have been found in China made of soy, green dye and other questionable substances.
9. Garlic: About one-third of all garlic in the U.S. comes from China.

Shop wisely.

10 Foods Made In China That Are Full With Cancer Causing Chemicals, Plastic And Pesticides
besthealthyguide.com

Recently, a large number of people have started to avoid the Chinese products, since the Chinese food industry has lack of standards. 

It is not difficult to understand the reason for this.
Namely, the food items that China has been producing and selling for years are pretty cheap, fake and toxic.
There is still no evidence whether those products are being sold in the USA, but the websites such as Amazon.com, eBay, Ali Express and many others have been seen selling products which were made and shipped straightly from China either discreetly or openly.
In this article, we are going to present you 10 illegal Chinese food products which were made by harmful substances that can really damage your health. 

You should think twice before you decide to buy food products from those online stores, shipped straightly from China. 

We advise you to stay away from the following products:

1. Imitation Eggs
It is absolutely unbelievable that Chinese people publish videos on Chinese websites giving instructions of how to make and sell fake eggs and earn $70 daily for that. 

Those fake eggs contain dangerous chemicals such as Potassium Alum, Alginic Acid, Calcium Chloride, Gelatin, artificial colors and water. 

The eggshells contain Calcium Carbonate.
These chemicals may cause dementia and memory-loss. 

You should be extremely careful since this kind of food can seriously damage your health and the health of the whole your family.

2. Walnuts filled with cement
A Chinese guy, who bought walnuts in Zhengzhou, China in 2012, found broken pieces of concrete inside the shell. 

The “manufacturers” of the walnut-cement, put the cement into a piece of paper and wrapped it to prevent the noise inside the shell, when it is shaken.
The inventor of these walnuts created them in order to get more money by selling them since they were heavier than the real ones.

3. Beef made of pork
In China the pork is cheaper than the beef and some Chinese restaurants sell pork instead of beef. Before it is being sold, they make some chemistry on the meet which changes its content.
They add a glazing agent on a beef extract to “marinate” it. 

This stays on the meet for more than an hour. 

The long-term consumption of this fake meat causes deformity, slow poisoning and cancer. 

Medical experts highly recommend you to avoid the fake meat.

4. Fake green peas
The fake green peas were found in 2005 in the Hunan Province, China. 

A story was published in the local newspaper where it was said that those peas remained hard after the process of boiling and turned the water unnaturally green.
The people who have created those fake peas were selling them in order to make a lot of money. 

The peas had been produced in an illegal workshop for three years before the investigation was made and before that place was shut down by the authorities.
The fake peas were made by soy beans and snow peas which contained sodium metabisulfate, as preservative and bleach and green dye as well. 

The usage of this dye is banned since it is cancer causing and may prevent the absorption of calcium in the body.

5. Baby formula
In CBS News it was announced that almost 50 people have been accused of producing fake baby formula which is the reason for dozens of children’s deaths in the Fuyang Province in China in 2004. Its main ingredient was chalk which caused swelling of the children’s heads and slow deterioration of their bodies too, known as “big head disease”.

6. Industrial salt
The industrial salt is known as “unfit for human consumption” and people must not consume it. 

Since it is cheaper than the normal salt, 788 tons of the industrial salt was sold by 12 people over the period of 13 years.
It was sold as table salt. 

This dangerous salt causes physical and mental illnesses, hypothyroid and reproductive system problems. 

Be very careful of the type of salt you buy!

7. Instead of black pepper they sold mud
As reported by the local news a market vendor in Guandong Province in China sold mud as black pepper! 

Another shocking thing was that he made the white pepper out of flour. 

He was caught by the authorities and his excuse was shocking too! 

He said that he was selling it since it could not kill the people.
If we take into consideration that the Chinese Authorities will not investigate the fake foods until they make someone die, it means there are too many chemicals and fake items being sold every day just because they do not have lethal consequences.

8. Fake sweet potato noodles
In Zhongshan, China the authorities discovered a facility where 5.5 tons of fake sweet potato noodles were made. 

Many people complained that those potato noodles tasted strangely.
After the investigation started, the authorities found that the fake noodles contained paraffin wax, corn and an industrial color which gave them purple color. 

All consumers that like sweet potato noodles were shocked!

9. Fake Ginseng
The ginseng root has been used by the Chinese people for more than 3,000 years. 

Since it has so many health benefits its price started to increase rapidly. Chinese people were trying to find out a solution to make profit of selling ginseng. 

They made the roots heavier by boiling them in sugar.
According to Wei Feng, a medicine expert from the National Institute for Food and Drug Control in China, this is a serious problem not only because merchants rip off their customers, but also because ginseng root loses its medicinal values in the process of boiling in sugar.
According to the test Wei Feng has conducted, the natural ginseng contains 20% sugar, while the fake one has 70% sugar which cannot be beneficial for our health.

10. Plastic Rice
A large amount of fake rice made of potatoes and synthetic resin was discovered by the Authorities in China. 

Like the fake peas, the fake rice had the very same characteristics.
It remained hard after the process of boiling and its long-term usage may cause cancer as well. 

The main purpose for producing fake and toxic types of food was the money profit.
Rice called “Wuchang” was an imitation of the natural rice, made by the scam artists in China.
