...vitamins used in many packaged foods, arrive at U.S. ports from China and, as recent news reports have underscored, are shipped without inspection to food and beverage distributors and manufacturers.

A disaster waiting to happen...

Amazing. Assuming that the Chinese weren't really our great friends and allies, they could take out an amazingly large number of our population without firing a shot. Beats the hell out of a neutron bomb.

Perhaps the pet food contaminations were a test run or just an accident, but it likely has shown some nut case exactly how easy it would be. Who needs suicide bombers when you control the food supply and what goes in it?

So...what does "made in China" mean? It means we have sacrificed much of our manufacturing, our farming and now our food and vitamin production on the alter of cheap prices while giving away our safety and peace of mind.

There should be no food additives allowed from China after the pet food debacle. We must be crazy not to see the danger to our citizens.

We’ll hit the Chinese back with genetically altered rice strains that produce uncontrollable flatulence and obesity.

"The last U.S. plant making vitamin C closed a year ago."

I doubt that no company is making any vitamin C inside America. I'd like to see some evidence supporting this statement. It could be that no major corporations are making vitamin C now, but small health food companies are probably still making their own "organic" vitamin C. I'm naturally suspicious of sweeping statements like this one from the MSM.

Nonetheless this is a startling article, and I think I'll cut back on eating those energy bars with added vitamins out on the golf course. Now I think I'll just eat the "organic" snack bars with no added vitamins. The hygiene standards in China don't strike me as the big problem. It's their contaminated water supplies that bother me, although I'm sure at the western-owned companies they highly purify all the water used in making vitamins just as they do here when making health care products. But at the Chinese-owned companies, who knows kind of water they use. Trial lawyers are eventually going to have a field day with this issue, and before long "100% American-made" will become a marketing strategy for food companies.

If at all possible... I NEVER buy anything made in chicomville. I have driven 100 miles to buy a product NOT of chicom creation.

But Duncan Hunter has been repeatedly attacked for his “protectionist” stance against China.

Go figure.

BTW, why are we buying grain from China?

My Company has been making high end diets for research animals for 35 years; since 1976 they have always done a full contaminant screen on all the products sold to the industry. The (our) industry is Government and pharmaceutical research. They must protect the food fed to these very expensive animals. A contaminated diet could destroy years of research data.

Used to buy Vitamin C from Roche but it cost 4 times as much as the Chinese stuff. It is easy to check. We must but don’t know much about the human food companies.

Remember:
“The bugs in the flour do not come from you cabinets. They hatch out of the food product “ There is an “allowable 3%” insect eggs, etc. in our food sources.

I don’t know what to think of this.

If Chinese products are being added to our food supply, I’d guess it would be as fillers. That would be things like vegetarian TVP burgers, cake mixes (Good grief! There goes my favorite carrot cake mix) and perhaps cereal.

Foods like hamburger, broccoli and strawberries shouldn’t be affected by ChiCom pollution. For those foods we have to worry about the Mexicans washing them in sewage water filled with turds.

I understand that one or more of the midieval plagues was started by a ship from China docking in London.

The importation of vitamins and food additives from China is even worse than it appears.

The exporter that is responsible for the poisoned pet food adjunct, is also THE major exporter of a laundry list of vitamins and food additives (for human consumption) to our biggest processed food manufacturers.

I stumbled across this when the pet food poisonings started, but didn’t save the link. A little googling should turn up the info for those interested.
