Q: Do you think there's any food in China that's not toxic in some way?
Today I read about the latest scandal: toxic ginger. So, the ginger that gets exported is apparantly regulated for pesticides and growth enhancers but not the ones bound for the domestic market. They've now found lots of harmful pesticide and chemical residue in ginger for sale here. Honestly, is there anything that's not toxic? WTF China!!!!

No. Fish from the ocean will most likely not have had toxins put in actively, but other than that I doubt anything would be deemed safe for consumption by EFSA or FDA. I think it is much much worse than what we are told.
Kaiwen:
Yet 99.3% (Source WHO/FDA) passes international import and quarantine standards when tested at border control of importing states. Strange one that. Perhaps food related problems associated with China are high when considered collectively but low in proportion to the overall production of export related foodstuffs. Perhaps the worrying thing from an ex-pat viewpoint is not the product that ends up on the export market but that which stays in the domestic market. Where are the testing standards there?
No. If the government officially admits to 30% of the food being contaminated, you can bet money it's much higher than that.
chinese food is really shit. I already said that in other posts, It is the most important problem in this country for the chinese population. you don,t even know the people who are dying from cancer at the hospitals because of food quality problems
lol go to a place that sells import food thats your best bet
A while back I stated that the only things I drank were water and things with an import sticker. Now the only thing I eat are things with an import sticker and my hat- Nongfu was my water brand...
