BEIJING (AFP) – A wave of tainted-food scares has renewed fears in China over continued product-safety problems despite a government promise to clean up the food industry following a deadly 2008 milk scandal.
Tainted pork, toxic milk, dyed buns and other dodgy foods have surfaced in recent weeks, sickening consumers and highlighting the government's apparent inability to oversee China's huge and under-regulated food industry.
The litany of stomach-turning headlines has caused officials to scramble to contain the damage and sparked an anguished lament last week from Premier Wen Jiabao about unscrupulous food producers.
"These virulent food-safety incidents have revealed a grave situation of dishonesty and moral degradation," Wen Jiabao said in a speech to government officials.
"Without high-quality citizens or ethical strength, China cannot be a respectable economy or power in a real sense," he said in published remarks.
Recent scandals have included pork found on the market so loaded with bacteria that it glowed in the dark, according to a state press report.
Glowing bacon could work out well for camping trips. :-)

Why would anyone want to buy food from China?? It's quite obvious what their goal is. I wonder if they're in bed with Soros??
