And who are the U.S. companies that are receiving and buying the illegal meat shipments, from China that are not seized upon arrival at the ports? What are they doing with that meat, what are they using it for?
"But that has not stopped Chinese meat exporters. In the past year, USDA teams have seized hundreds of thousands of pounds of prohibited poultry products from China and other Asian countries, Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns announced in March. Some were shipped in crates labeled "dried lily flower," "prune slices" and "vegetables," according to news reports. It is unclear how much of the illegal meat slipped in undetected."
