There
have been some rumors spreading that the standards of the Chinese
products have dropped low, thus people started to keep themselves away
from the goods with a very solid reason. There are fake, and cheap
products which are sold from many online sites. The products lack
quality and can also contain prohibited substances. The list will
provide you with the 10 most substandard products from China about which
you have to think twice before purchasing.
Imitation eggs – there
have been some Chinese web sites which have instructional videos
showing how to make $70 daily by producing and selling fake eggs. You
will need chemicals like alginic acid, potassium alum, gelatin, calcium
chloride, water and artificial color, the eggshells are made out of
calcium carbonate, and if you eat them they may cause memory-loss and
dementia.
Chinese garlic – there
is tainted garlic found in China which is being sprayed with chemicals
more than sufficiently, leaving bad aftertaste due to the chemical
concoction. 31% of the garlic which is being sold in the USA is from
China.
Chicken – a
lot of food safety experts are worried about the quality of the chicken
which was affirmed for sale from China. China is a country where avian
influenza and food-borne illnesses are often. Also, China produces a lot
of pesticides and is polluted by mass production and industry as well.
Making beef out of pork – pork
is less expensive in China and for that reason restaurants have been
selling it instead of beef, before performing some chemistry on it, a
beef extract and a glazing agent to “marinate” the meat in 90 minutes.
This meat can cause low poisoning, deformity and even cancer if consumed
on long-term.
Green peas – they
have been manufactured with snow peas, soy beans and green dye, sodium
metabisulfate (chemical used as bleach and preservative). The dye is
forbidden to be used on products as it can cause cancer and can inhibit
the body’s natural ability to absorb calcium. These green peas do not
soften when boiled and the water turns into green.
Baby formula – there
were 47 people accused of producing fake instant baby formula in 2004
which caused dozens of children to die in Fuyang, China. The formula
contained nutrients which are made out of chalk, causing the children
develop a big head disease that makes their heads swell and rest of
their bodies slowly deteriorate.
Chinese apple juice – completely avoid it as it is full of pesticides and other chemicals which are not good for your health.
Tilapia fish – this
is the most commonly farmed fish in China and it is one of the worst
and most toxic fish that you can stumble upon. It will eat anything,
just like the bottom-feeder fish. Fish-farming is a small pool of waste
where the fish live in.
Fake sweet potato noodles – there
is a facility in Zhigshan city in China which produced at least 5.5
tons of fake noodles. They were accused in 2011 that the noodles tasted
strange, thus a further investigation revealed that they were made of
corn with industrial milk used to give them purple color, as well as
paraffin wax.
Mod sold as black pepper – there
is a market vendor in China’s Guangdong Province which gathered local
mud, selling it as black pepper, while their white pepper was mainly
made out of flour.
