I was not too surprised to hear about the food safety issues in China as this is a problem literally everywhere in our world today. It is shocking however, to consider the people who knowingly put poisonous or harmful additives and dyes in their food sources in order to turn a profit.
This following video is a small portion of a news clip I had come across regarding the additives to prawns/shrimp. It was disgusting and upsetting to watch. This video below is only 2 minutes in length and not in English as I had difficulty finding the original--but you can get the point in watching. After watching I thought this is a problem in Asia not “our” issue, but consider the fact that the US ships in 90% of its shrimp from Asia.
