So they will kill the chickens here, freeze them, take them to China frozen via boat, where they will be thawed, processed, contaminated (just assuming), frozen again and shipped back here where they will be sold at your grocery store and you will buy them and possibly freeze them for the third time. This is simply insane. There are so many chances for improper handling and cross contamination. The USDA is insane |

INSANE But "we" should feel "safe", as the USDA will "test" them when they are returned.. Our tax dollars at work. Here's another reason to feel "safe" "The Obama administration is on the verge of dramatically scaling back the US Department of Agriculture's oversight of the nation's largest chicken and turkey slaughterhouses—while also allowing companies to speed up their kill lines. Currently, each factory-scale slaughterhouse has four USDA inspectors overseeing kill lines churning out up to 140 birds every minute. Under the USDA's new plan, a single federal inspector would oversee lines killing as many as 175 birds per minute. That would mean there are three fewer inspectors for a production line running 25 percent faster. (The line rates at turkey slaughterhouses are, for obvious reasons, slower, but would also be sped up under the new rules). ..... The USDA insists that the new system will improve poultry product safety" Wed Apr. 24, 2013 [link to www.motherjones.com] Last Edited by cookie lady on 09/09/2013 10:01 AM |

The land and factories can be requipped for more proftiable usage and the people that are whining for more money can just be let go, simple as that. There are plenty of places willing to do the hard work for less pay and this is one of them. |

Quoting: WildFlower [link to en.wikipedia.org] Poisonous Jinhua ham 2003 Adulterated pickled vegetables 2004 Sudan I Red Dye 2005 Contaminated turbot fish 2006 Sewage used in tofu manufacturing 2007 Tainted Chinese dumplings 2008 Goat urine duck meat 2009 Dyed Green beans 2010 Ongoing food safety incidents Gutter oil is a term used in China to describe illicit cooking oil that has already been used and is then processed by cleaning and filtering to be resold as a cheaper alternative to normal cooking oil. The sources of this oil are restaurant fryers, sewers and leftover or used oil that is sold by restaurants. A newer version of gutter oil uses discarded animal parts, animal fat, internal organs, and expired or otherwise low quality meat which is then cooked in large vats in order to extract the oil I have issues - big time. That is why our family plans to buy only fresh, raw chicken which must say country of origin. Also, buying only organic. FYI, most processed foods and supplement have additives, fillers, etc. that almost exclusively are sourced from China. |
