U.S. officials have given the thumbs-up to four Chinese poultry plants, paving the way for the country to send processed chicken to American markets, according to audit reports obtained by POLITICO.
The audit reports expected to be made public Friday show that the Chinese processing plants passed U.S. Department of Agriculture inspections performed in March and the positive results make it likely the foreign producers soon will become eligible to export to the U.S
According to the audit, at first, China will only be able to process chicken that has been slaughtered in the U.S. or other certified countries.

So the birds are going to be slaughtered in one place, shipped to China to be cooked, and then shipped here?
What could go wrong?
What else tastes...like chicken...?

If we can sell chicken below market in China how are they going to buy our chickens, ship them to China, process them, ship them back, and make money? What am I missing here?

We'll all soon be raising our own chickens and pigs and shooting squirrels and rabbits for supper at the rate we're going. Think The Waltons without the modern conveniences and friendly townsfolk.

What else tastes...like chicken...? My Dad had to hit the silk over Europe and spent a good bit of WW II in a P.O.W. camp. He started out over 170 pounds and returned under 120. He didnt talk about his experiences very much, but one thing he was very clear on:
Youd be surprised how many things taste like chicken.

My thoughts exactly. When you find out the answer to this one, please share. My other concern is that this is just step one of the process. Next thing we know, the FDA will allow them to do this with Chinese chickens and totally eliminate the U.S. in the process.

If you buy any Chinese foodstuff even dog food you are asking for big trouble. They are masters of adulterated food. They got caught with dog food a couple of years ago Alpo had to recall a bunch of their product if my memory is correct.
