We all know that a lot of imported foods in America are mainly exported from China. Food from china is cheaper but it comes at a cost.
We are going to present to you a several foods imported from China so you should know which food to avoid.
1. Tilapia Fish
The fish are bottom feeders and will eat almost anything. With water pollution, the way it is in China, eating anything raised in that water would be unsafe to say the least.
2. Cod Fish
Again this fish is eating everything and liven in polluted waters. Also 50 % of Americans cod comes from China.\
3. Apple Juice
50 % from apple juice is imported from China. China is heard by harmful pesticides, so do you want to drink a juice full with pesticides? Me neither.
4. PROCESSED MUSHROOMS
34% of all processed mushrooms come from China. Just as we saw with apples, one does not know what the mushrooms are grown in and exactly how healthy they are. Just to be on the safe side, buy mushrooms local or from trusted American-based or Canadian-based farms.
5. Chinese Garlic
6. CHICKEN
In 2013, the US Department of Agriculture approved the sale of chicken from China in the United States. As with fish (mentioned above) this is a pollution and feeding issue. China is commonly plagued with avian flu and other foodborne illnesses.
7. PLASTIC RICE
There are reports that China is now sending over rice that isn’t really rice. When cooked, it stays hard. The rice may actually be made of potato and resin. Essentially, plastic rice is on the market, and this may give the GMO grain companies a run for their money.
8. BLACK PEPPER MUD
One vendor in China was caught selling mud as black pepper. Although this seems like a local issue, one must always verify quality.
9. INDUSTRIAL SALT
Salt produced for industrial purposes is finding its way onto the tables of China. Therefore, any salt from China in America may also contain industrial salt. Consuming this salt may contribute to high blood pressure, hypertension, and the risk of heart attack and stroke.
10. GREEN PEAS
Fake green peas have been found in China. These fake peas were created with snow peas, soy beans, along with green dye and sodium metabisulfite (a chemical that is used as the bleach and as a preservative). This dye is banned from using on produce because it may cause cancer, as well as inhibit the body’s natural ability to absorb calcium. These green peas also didn’t soften when boiled and the water turned an unnatural green color.
