China closes 180 food factories...

[Jay Jay]

From BBC TV news cast.

"China has closed 180 food factories after inspectors found industrial
chemicals were being used in a variety of products, including candy
and seafood.

The closure come just six months after a launch of a nation wide crack
down on shoddy and dangerous products. Officials found illegal dyes
and industrial wax were being used to make candies, pickles, crackers
and sea foods.

Chinese made toothpaste has also been rejected in several countries
in Asia, and South and North America. (Once ?) Chinese produced
wheat gluten has been blamed for dog and cat deaths in North America.

On that gastronomic note ha ha ha (her laughter prevents the reporter from
finishing her sentence)... "

Reporter to co-anchor, "... ha ha ha the expression on your face ha ha ha..."

Co anchor, "what a gasthly story..."

Reporter, "...  that says it all... ha ha ha"

Co anchor, "... oh dear."

Wow, this really hits home after my conversation with Trader Joe's corporate office the other day regarding their frozen made in China seafood.
