yep.... and this in the article:

Nitrogen levels are measured to calculate the protein content, which determines the value of a shipment

But FDA Commissioner Andrew C. von Eschenbach told the senator that investigators haven't been able to make the trip because they cannot get visas from the Chinese government.

IMO the Chinese have seriously underestimated the American Public's love for their pets... if this is proven to be true ----

There was another thread on this topic alone (refusing to allow inspections)—and I agree with those who say we should just say, “Ok, but we’re canceling ALL orders until we can inspect the food.”

Who gives a *&! about the pets!

If they are cheating with ingredients destined for pet food, you can bet your A$$ they are cheating on human food too! The whole point is that they are ripping us off and there’s no knowing how long they’ve been doing it. As far as I’m concerned the &%*ing pets are expendable. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN PEOPLE DROPPING LIKE FLIES.

I want their heads on a platter! We put up with embargos on american beef because of that stupid cow disease that was never even proven...and that was not even on purpose. Now we got PROOF that the dam *&%$ are poisoning ingredients on purpose!

It’s time for a total ban on all chinese ag products.

WOW! Our politicians got us in quite a mess with this trade with China, and I’ve read it’s a $200 BILLION imbalance.

Nothing will happen, also IMO. International trade philosophy is amoral. $$$ trumps right or wrong, good or evil.
