WHY Do We Continue to Outsource To China?
I’m not just talking about outsourcing IT – I’m talking about manufacturing. The Chinese have continually displayed a lack of respect for regulations and the health and welfare of people. It’s all about making a buck.
from China Daily -
Tainted melamine tableware has been found in supermarkets in Beijing, an authority from the International Food Packaging Association (IFPA) said yesterday.
The tableware was discovered in Carrefour and Auchan supermarkets as well as several wholesale markets, the association said.
The bowls and plates are contaminated with urea-formaldehyde resin, a substance that could produce carcinogenic chemicals when heated, said Dong Jinshi, IFPA secretary general.
Dong said the tainted tableware, which is not suitable for food, is sold together with dishes that are suitable for food consumption. He said the similar appearances would likely confuse customers, leading them to purchase unsafe tableware.
