Hundreds of Arrests in Beijing For Selling Fake Food

I don’t know about you but whenever I see 'Made in China' on  something I have to buy and can’t find an American (North or South)  substitute I get very nervous. Particularly if it has to do with food. I  love fish, but because the most price friendly is almost always chinese I stop eating fish. The chinese have  to get control of their exports otherwise their financial recovery is in danger.  This particular arrest doesn’t say that the chinese authorities are in control but that they are bursting with fake meat or badly grown fish ( fed with contaminated feed). Lets not even talk about their other stuff like toys and furniture.  For this market like you can see on the picture the problem is as big as China is.

BEIJING, More than 900 people were arrested in the past three months for selling fake or tainted meat in China, officials said.

The arrests were part of a national crackdown on "deep-seated food safety problems" that need to be addressed, an official, whose name was not reported, told China's state-run Xinhua news agency.

Officials said they discovered nearly 400 cases of meat fraud and seized more than 20,000 tons of fake meat.

Authorities discovered cases in which suppliers used hydrogen peroxide to process chicken claws, and others injected water into meat to increase its weight, CNN reported.

In one case, suspects made fake mutton using meat from foxes, mink and rats after adding chemicals, Xinhua reported Thursday.

An official said investigators will now focus on dairy products after a high-profile case in which melamine, a compound used to make resins, was found in baby milk formula.
