Recent discoveries show plastic in food, as well as carcinogenic chemicals and pesticides. High percent of these foods come from China. See the list!
It has become a well-known fact that more and more food is being imported from China. Why do we need to buy food from China when we have so many products nearby which our government controls and we know is safe? Everything comes with a price; the food from China is cheaper, but it actually costs a lot more in the long run.
Plastic in food, dangerous and life-threatening carcinogenic chemicals and pesticides are found in that food which is being imported from China all over the world. Inform yourself about these foods and stop buying and consuming them!
Plastic in food, pesticides and carcinogens – List of 10 foods:
1. Tilapia
First, farm-raised tilapia is usually fed a constant diet of genetically modified maize and soybean pellets, which is detrimental to the health of the fish themselves. There is also a study indicating that tilapia is less healthy than bacon.
2. Cod
Again, this is a problem of water pollution and food. There are few restrictions in China for this type of exports.
3. Apple juice
Evidently, China has been known to use harmful pesticides in its food. Even pesticides that have been banned by their own government. Making your own juice with local organic apples is would definitely be the best method to use in order to say healthy.
4. Processed Mushrooms
Furthermore, 34% of all processed mushrooms come from China. As with apples, we do not know where these mushrooms grow and how healthy they are. Just to be safe you have to buy local mushrooms or nearby places of trust.
5. Chinese garlic
As with other cultured foods, the pesticides involved in the process (methyl bromide mainly) are not only not safe but must be avoided.
6. Chicken
Once again, as with fish (see above), there is a problem of food contamination in China.
7. Plastic rice
There are reports that China exports rice that is not really rice. Once cooked, it stays hard. The rice can actually be made from potato and resin. In essence, it is a plastic rice on the market. Seems like you’ll need to watch the source of the rice you usually buy since the origins of it are questionable.

8. Black pepper that is clay
A supplier in China was caught selling mud as black pepper. Although this seems to be a local problem, you always have to check the quality.
9. Industrial Salt
Salt produced for industrial purposes is being found at the tables in China. Therefore, any salt from China that arrives in your country can also contain industrial salt. Consumption of this salt may contribute to high blood pressure and risk of heart attack and stroke.
10. Peas
Fake peas have been found in China. In fact, these fake peas were made with peas, soybeans, as well as green dye and sodium metabisulfite (a chemical used as a whitening agent and preservative). The use of this dye in the products is banned, as it can cause cancer, as well as inhibit the body’s natural ability to absorb calcium. In addition, these peas do not soften when they boil and also, the water turns an unnatural green color.
In conclusion, the message (again) seems to be: Eat local food. Eat organic. It supports healthy agricultural practices. SHARE this important informational message!
