Food for thought: China's Food Safety | 101 East
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2024
- Every year two million people die from unsafe food and water around the world. Food safety experts warn these deaths may be caused by human design, and nowhere is this trend more prevalent than in China.
Tracing the making of a bowl of wonton noodle soup, a 101 East investigation exposes the toxic stew this iconic dish has become.
From tainted additives in noodles to growth hormones in pork, to industrial filler posing as meat, presenter Steve Chao finds that anything is possible for producers looking to cut corners and make a fast buck.
Do you have a story about Chinese food you consumed? @AJ101East goes undercover to expose the hidden harm in China's Food Industry.

The man that made traditional dishes a noodles from scratch..may God bless..your business and protect you
No god needed
Glenda Starkey 😊 such a wholesome comment
(2 Timothy 3) (KJV)
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
(Romans 1: 28-32) (God's Wrath Against Sinful Humanity) (NIV)
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Amen
Indeed I trust chef woo jin, very honest good man but I hope his carefuf with pork his buying...
the guy that made the traditional wonton noodle soup is the real mvp.
dix out for Mr. Wu
Thank you Mister Wu!
Where is Mr. Wu located?
I would like to know too. Maybe we can donate to his cause
This report is so biased. How can Mr Wu guarantee his food is safe. Does he farm the pigs for the pork?Does he grow the wheat for the flour? Even though his standard is ethical, how can you guarantee the raw ingredients he uses are sourced from ethical suppliers? His customers are made to believe his high moral standards but not knowing the real root of the problem....the lack of government accountability.
That poor girl 😥 Her mom's the hero here! She's doing almost everything right, such as growing their own vegetables, having her jump on the mini trampoline. I'd add 1 pint of home made real lemonade/day, which actually helps to dissolve the stones. Hot rice packs, to soothe the back behind kidneys. I suffer Struvite/Calcium combo kidney stones, doctor has me do all the above, to avoid surgery again.
Stay away from plants
I got rid of the beginning of Kidney stones, the calcium deposits causing my Renal irritation by drinking lemon juice and honey daily every morning for 4 months. When I went back for my CT scan they were gone.
This video MUST and SHOULD be shown on the national television. People MUST know exactly whats in the food you eat.
🫶🏿👊🏿🫶🏿
That would be any food from china, it is estimated that 80% of their water is polluted with heavy metals, if one is concerned with their health never consume any food from china
Master woo is a good guy cooking real wonton soup. We still have honest people like him.
I get goosebump watching him dilligently serve his customers. This is someone to respect who has integrity in his work and know what life is about.
GOD Bless Him*
Some people in the comments claim Master Wu only did it all for the screen and imports unknown chemicals like anyone else
And this Master Wong guy from Beijing is suspicious that he knows how to make fake wonton noodle soup
true chef ,respect
That girl with kidney stones broke my heart. She has a good mom who is fighting for her, so that’s good.
The US FDA should mandate all food be labeled country of origin.
@@_Meng_Lan Very gud cuz he ain't selling chicken anyway.
We have lots of Chinese people buy New Zealand baby milk powder and sending it to China, supermarket's had to put a limit on how many a person can buy because they were cleaning us out.
same in the netherlands! Supermarkets paint crosses on the boxes so people who bulk buy (by having multiple people buying it from different supermarkets and different clothes so they go unnoticed) can’t export it to china. Not 100% sure how it works but I guess customs would see it when trying to export it illegally.
im malaysian chinese, i apologize for the people of china
@@somethingrandomasmekevin4538 I a also a malaysian Chinese u don't need to, it them that need to apologize not us.
Same in germany. Chinese buisness man buy all the baby formula in a store and sell it in China. I would guess, their customers in China are probably rich. Considering the price here, shipping it to China and selling it for a profit probably makes it very expensive.
"Either we starve to death or we die of toxic foods." That is just too deep and true for many places around the world!
I can starve thank you
I and my minors would starve to death as I can't knowingly eat what is fake. Somethings are worse than death, that is why I get very annoyed at times when doctors intervene after the birth of a child rather than let time rule. There are people who can't see or hear, understand in anyway, can't develop any kind of muscle coordintion, have no bladder or bowel control, don't know how to smile or laugh. If such a baby stays alive when you do not intervene, then so be it. Some individuals asked to be euthanized because somethings are worse than death. I wouldn't personally try to involve another. However, everthing exposed there is the modern reality where food is mass produced. Foods are coloured with insect. Insects play a big role in the preparation of many food by products. The poorest of people are privy to such things but they don't have a voice for fear of losing their jobs and in some places certain death, organised by the accused. Someone got very devious and said he'd give people taste, but not the natural flavours that humans were used to. His aim was compelling tastes, that is why people buy processed foods and drinks all the time because their tastes are embedded in people's brains. It is the tastes that people keep rembering. It is not "It is time for my next meal of the day", meaning that enough time has elapsed since the previous meal, especially if one is diabetic, or that the person needs the energy to continue a task or employment for the remaining of the day. So that is what nutrition in the hands of corporations is about- just taste, the true root of obesity. Goverments, scientists and nutritionists have not figured it out as yet, that is why there is commercial diet after commercial diet and reality weight loss after reality weight loss. No one has worked out the solution is organic, that is food production by the sun, the rain, birds and insects. The only human intervention is to pull up, pull off or cut off and shake down what is edible. What the insects and birds fed on, what fell to the ground, including the leaves are nutrients for the soil that nature will convert to be absorbed. That is what I know. We looked out the front, we looked out the back and saw various colours as time went on and all we did was throw out seeds and some of the food items that were not edible. We did not even dig up the soil to do the planting. When we were preparing food, we threw out what we wouldn't eat. That was it!
Sad that their water is so polluted that they cannot drink their water. They shower in the water but purchase large bottles of water for drinking.
I've been growing my own little by little and expanding
@@soniag4516 that's a good move.

"The government hasn't done anything; it covers things up and evades responsibility"
Sounds familiar!
Very Familiar!
Much respect for this man who's not driven by greed and profit and is providing a healthy variant to his customers making everything from scratch with natural and organic products.
Hospitals denying the presence of a disease to Save their governments behind. That's really pathetic.

You have to get 2nd, 3rd or up to 5th opinion.
The chef making his food by hand is the hero China needs. His food looks much more flavorful and filling than the 'food' cooked with chemicals. FYI, as a home chef, texture really can make or break a dish in terms of enjoyment. I want a bowl of real wonton soup, please. 🍜💯
Makes me think that they're trying to be chemists with all those chemicals
The fact that this documentary is from 7 years ago is scary. Things haven’t changed have they?
This is what great journalism looks like
U mean not like CNN ?
@@hmsdemolition8588 keep your political bias out of defining journalism
Amen. Independent journalism at it's best
I wouldnt call aljazeera "great journalism"

Imagine your hospital technician having to lie about kidney stones in patients to protect her job......
I'd rather lose my job and start a campaign to educate on whats really happening.
the doctors in china face imprisonment and/or death if they go against the government.
In the United States, radiology technicians are not allowed (by law) to disclose or provide their opinions on what they observe on imaging studies.
thats so ironic lol
Lying to protect ones job is a rampant epidemic in even more civilized societies than one would imagine but I fully understand the relevance of your statement as it deals directly with front line health care workers. She might as well be pointing a loaded gun on that child by lying.
So sad for the little girl. May miracle heal her soon.
This is sickening, we should boycott all these products that come from this country!!!
YES, we need to band together and stop giving our money to CCP.
What can we do our countries are blinded with cheap raw material for their product so that their profits will be large and can cause greed
Wtf, OMG ....................I feel sick watching this segment. yes extremely deplorable people involved with this food safety issue and the chinese food industry is unethically dysfunctionally regulated. The chinese individual authorities allowing this to continue, exported to other countries, all of these culprits, traders etc must be executed.
don't buy anything form china, crash their economy like they crushed ours.
we all need to review globalisation. and anything manufactured with unregulated health guidelines. but at the end of the day all comes to greed, profiting, exploitation and immoral ethics. sadly the virus and many other disease of worldwide society this is that capitalism and globalisation has overpowered goodness, commonsense and climate change in 2020. we all must change our attitudes and habits. enforce civil law and hold those responsible for COVID-19 outbreak accountable.
Hope the little girl recovers from her kidney stones :/
acethedeath it does bother lots of people. A lot of Chinese mom's now go to trouble to buy foreign brand milk online or foreign formula from US brands(emfamil or good start) in their stores.
Why can't she go to a different country?.. clearly she can't even trust her own government
Foxy Alice well she can't afford to go to a private clinic so I doubt she'll be able to afford to see a Dr in a foreign country
the same situation in here sri lanka also govt massacre people
I know. When I visited China, my uncle there would not even allow us to eat food that wasn't produced by people he knows.
That little girl is suffering unimaginable pain. I have had chronic stones. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
how you know what this guy is saying is true, why is this man really in China,why is AL jazeera , selling me in english the evils of chinese foods. What about food in his country i would like to hear the evils of that first LOL Propaganda is good business ,and the unsuspecting chinese people in the Documentary have no idea how the have been used.
I currently have six
Your documentaries are breathtaking. great, and sadly informative.
Here in the US, we have lots of food allergies, especially in children. I wonder if it was caused by imported food.
def
@@helenclark7876" DEf" You're a shill, U.S was selling all these chemicals and using it domestically as well. Hiring locals to pour DDT on cereal and eat it to show it's safety. Nuke tests all around around the world... f off China may be poisining its citizens but you're a dumbass
Caused by vaccines

~its OBVIOUSLY GOOD~
Thank you for this educational program! A learning lesson. It is with sadness, regarding the chemicals, and wet markets!! Needs to be monitor!!
There needs to be a system implemented to encourage ethical food sourcing and production while discouraging unethical methods used to maximize profit not just in China but worldwide
There are already too many systems. Most don't benefit most people.
What is needed is fewer parasites and predators.
@@robertwilber1909 as long as it is profitable to sell toxic food there will be people profiting on it. We need to encourage producers to make healthy food that is not degrading the environment or human bodies. How can we make that happen using only money as incentive?
@@t00b3z so, I can classify you as another big governnent sheep?

Enjoy Monsanto seeds only if they have their way with the world lol I hope you get your farm and be free from the system!
Anyone who makes noodles by hand deserve my respect. One of my favorite kind of food is noodle based (especially ramen). Making noodles by hand shows their dedication to the food.
Also, screw those fake foods in China.
If you think China's food safety is a problem, then you should look at United States. There's a reason why so many people get sick every year and millions are on psychotic drugs.
HUH also there is fake beef going on in TH-cam
Idgaf about having your respect
Since when japanese ramen is made by hand... Haha.
@richard seymore 。。。When has the United States become a moral role model for China? When we see Chinese policemen abusing their power, some Chinese will say :"The American police officers are more violent". America bullies and invades small countries, so China is justified to bully little Taiwan and invade the South Seas. So, if the standard of American food safety is low, it justifies the Chinese being immoral in producing poisonous food for their own people。还是那句话，你隔壁的大妈偷汉子，你妈就可以理直气壮地偷汉子了吗？
Thanks. This was a very informative and useful video.
This was produced Aug 2014 now in Feb 2020 we are dealing with COVID19 virus. It originated in China. When the commentary states illness jumping from animals to humans is quite chilling!!
Has there been any update on the little girl? Chef Wu is a legend and deserves so much respect for the care and attention he puts into his food.
The mother of the little girl has since been arrested for her part in bringing to light the issues presented in this documentary.
@@MrPopots what!! No!!
Marianna Vlogs He is a national treasure.
This is heart breaking to see such a tiny girl with kidney stones at her tender age!
MrPopots sounds like what china would do ive been in a summer camp there and before going my parents warned me about child kidnapping and corruption
I really wished they had taken the little girl to private hospitals just to prove her kidney stones. This whole mess makes my blood boil.
I hope she was able to be treated.
The mother already was threatened to shut up, not sure proving anything would have made their lives any better, most likely worse.
So nice of you, but I've got really tired explaining the truth to my blood relatives.
They gone pay In JESUS name 🙏💯 🙏
@Tribal Bella. Get used to it. It will be happening in your country within a few years. Keep up that Chinese immigration.
Seeing that little girl breaks my heart.
Bless chef wu for being honest despite all the hard work and for still being a human and thinking about the plight of other people.
That politician what a jerk!
actually is there good politician?
There are many, they just don't survive in the political climate.
Typical. All he does is give speeches and pose for pictures before running away in his black Audi.

He says "What problem?" like he is ignoring the issue but knows it exists. How can anything be changed from the top of the ladder if everyone at the top is threatened? Companies own the government. Change has to come from rebellion.

Thanks for sharing things that we the public will never know until we come across this video. Holy cow !
my heart aches, hearing the story of a little girl's illness. shame on those who profit from her & her family's suffering. and, what's even worst is to see the cover-ups from those medical officials who are supposed to help her out.

That mother speaking out is driving the government to change, so she is making life better for the next generation but for her trouble she will get bad "social credit" like in Black Mirror "Nosedive," and won't be able to travel or send her kids to the best schools.
I know. It’s so sad.
Somebody commented above your post that the poor mother got arrested. What a shame. Bless her and her family for speaking out.
now i understand why chinese immigrants buy up baby formula overseas to sent back home
@Geen Naam wow. What country?
They don't think about the children.... They think about the profit.... Selling milk for three/four times the price.... Targeting the rich and making it unaffordable for the poor Chinese....
Australia?
@@permaculturedandfree2448 it happens in Australia.... I had a difficult time finding baby formula for my son when I just had him... If I was lucky there would be one can left on the shelf.... I live in an Asian populated area.... So this is a common problem

Let this be a lesson to every Western person that still supports the Chinese economy.
Thank you ALJAZEERA for this doc.
I'm taking off Chinese food from my menu.
Be sure to check spices, orange juice, and apple juice.
You be missing 2000 years of delicious dishes.
I used to live in Beijing, I still remember the whole milk powder scandal. So many people have lost their sense of morals amidst China's economic boom.
I was in grade school back then, we were told not to buy chinese food like the panda shaped chocolate biscuits that we use to buy because it contains melamine.
It is a uniquely Chinese issue isn't it. Heard about that plastic rice scandal toom Not saying we don't have our own elsewhere, but yeah the boom is the cause no doubt. It a crashing now!! Will likely get worse because of this 😭
Ps don't trust Al Jazeera as far as you can throw them, govt funded by Qatar and eager to slam every country but their own 😁
Yeah the melamine scandal lmao I remember that too
@@onedaynoreason2572 Actually, it isn't, same thing happens in Bangladesh, India and also the US, though the US additives effects take longer to show and is usually cancer
InfiniteLoop What a load of rubbish you speak
The last minute of this video made me weep, it is sympathetically admirable that few Chinese still have backbone for their nation and people with morals and principles as real humanbeing.
@bopp9 lol, let me look at bad issues in your country and make my opinion based solely on that also. Kind of demeaning to my family and people i know but you do you.
So sad. My mother never fed me Chinese branded baby food/milk powder. Couldn't trust any food in China. She spent an extreme amount of money on New Zealand baby formula.
Yet they still blame US for the hong kong protests
First I thought the 4 classes under Confucianism was backward, now... I can see why they saw the merchant class, driven by making profit from others was seen as the scum class.
That's how communist government works. Deny that anything is wrong. Obviously they are protecting their own comrades who are making the people at large to consume poison just to make profits.
Good You made this short documentary when it was possible to do so.
reporter: we dont know what this'll do to our bodies

The winner, we hope, is the gentleman that takes his time making the noodles by hand.
peter yeung in the end, he will. Honestly , dedication always win
Yes, I couldn't restaurant display signs stating they use all natural ingredients to attract more customers. And possibly prove this by having a window into the kitchen people can look through and watch the cooking processes?
no thats the problem. hand made ! wheres the hygene??????
@@ronalwoods3181 You are trolling right?
@@ronalwoods3181 where you can fine wanton noodle made by machine?
Beijing can make all of the food safety laws they want, but as long as local officials are involved in the industrial food industry, nothing will change.
Luigi Cadorna Indeed!
how do you stop local officials?
Local officials involved, so what? there is a way they will bend the law for you, I am sure people try it when they want something. It a very common method, you know what i mean.
I imagine that's why they execute some people. Though that doesn't seem to be a strong enough deterrent. I don't want to make excuses for China, but how do you regulate that large of a country with all sorts of industries.
Country of that size needs to be well control, that's why asian countries like Thailand, Singapore etc are smart in implemented death penalty for drug smugglers. How does KIM JONG UN control north korea where every body scare of him. If laws are implemented and can be bend in some way then what is law. If a country only interest is money and nothing else then their future is only short term. Every country is skeptical about produce from China and things made from China, so eventually people will not buy from them. Everything is so fake , who will buy in the future?
Thank you for sharing! This is an eye opener for the rest of the world, not only in China but everywhere in the world...including the western countries. Here in the USA, even when you go to the farmer's market...I'm still vary about buying stuff from them because you don't know if they follow the rules after applying pesticide....so never buy the most biggest apples, grapes, nuts, nicest veggies. Get the plain looking one with bugs nibble on it which would signified it's safe to eat since the bugs are eating it.
A lot of farmer's market stalls just buy food from large producers and just act as the vendors for it
Great thinking I'll remember this thank you from Adelaide south Australia 😊
It would be good to have an update on this story
Fake food is still there especially gutter oil - bottom line do not eat Chinese food or items imported from there

+minorka2 Both China and India, plus a few other countries are suspicious food wise. To be honest I generally d9nt buy food made overseas.
**sigh** ... I want so badly to be offended by your comment. But you are 100% correct. The government really needs to crack down on the safety and quality of Chinese-made goods, not leave it up to the individual manufacturers.
I use HUEL it is a nutritionally complete meal replacement. Feel really safe and healthy.
That first white powder, if I'm not mistaken is a mixture of borax and and I believe some talc.
Borax turns elmers glue into slime. Borax + flour easily turns it into dough.
The mixture is actually used to make homemade roach killer.
Worst part of this is they never said what the chemicals were.
Good job Al Jazeera getting and sharing news. Prof. ReyDev
Yea I was pleasantly surprised.
The poisoning of the food, the air, the land and the water has reached an epic proportion. For the sake of economic growth the country wants to move forward
regardless of consequences. The health of the people is ignored and many of them
will suffer illnesses in due course.
As long as humans worship materialistic things, they will become unscrupulous in achieving wealth through making unsafe foods and polluting the environment. This can be in an monumental scale as what has happened in China.
And natural selection will take up place in no time
Well then ask the Japanese and British return all the Chinese treasures they’ve robbed from Chinese during the two Sino-Japanese Wars and the two Opium Wars, hypocrite and “human right activist”.

I wonder if that poor mother was punished for speaking out? Her food, that she grew and prepared herself, looks delicious.
She sadly did, she ended up getting arrested :(
That's super disappointing, China has so many great authentic dishes, but these scammers are doing dishonest business for cash. Guys when you go to China make sure to do your research and be careful of what you're eating. I appreciate people like the Chef in the beginning who preserve culture and tradition. There are still many amazing authentic places to try!
This video was made 5 years ago. China cracked down severely on this in 2015 starting.
China has way to many ppl to feed .. bottom line
The situation in China today is much better. As long as you don't go to small suspicious restaurants, you'll be perfectly fine.
@@yinan02 phew, that's good to know :)
@@yinan02 okay but are you sure you're not biased?
One topic they didn't talk about here was nutritional value. Take the fake noodle soup for example. Let's pretend they found zero toxic chemicals. Since it contains almost no real ingredients, it probably has zero nutritional value. So you can eat it everyday, feel full, but still be starving your body. Since the fake stuff is cheap to make, it's likely also cheap to buy, so this is an issue that may disproportionately impact people who are poorer and already vulnerable to malnutrition. It's problematic even without toxic additives.
It’s problematic even with real food wheat and rice do not contain very many nutrients by themselves leading to malnutrition.
And the other problem that is ignored. The excessive amount of salt they eat. They think they are healthy because they are skinny. Salt doesn’t make you fat but it does cause high blood pressure and then heart failure.
I honor you Mr. Woo. May you live a long prosperous life and teach everyone how it is supposed to be done! Namaste...
OMG!! Here in Aotearoa (New Zealand) I was 15yrs employed as a Fellmonger: I would mix Borax with sea salt as a preservative to store hides; all the while because of the Borax, wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE!)
moral of the story: grow your own farm and make your own food for your safety. China was once a country that strictly believed in organic diet, everything was organic even clothes, what a sad unexpected situation it landed on
theproplayer 2016ender
Well off Chinese are doing it already.
That's because the Chinese communist party destroyed most of China history from temples to books, so now Chinese are grown to be more industrialized than tradition, and they're paying the price for it.

This is occuring in America also. But very few are willing to bring this out to the public!
Look at his tired eyes at 25:24, shows his dedication and hard work
Jame Huang I just want to give him a big hug! A modern-day Wong Fei-hung!
or it could mean he was partying the night before
or depression
usually thoso tired eyes are also from turning the lights off while watching too much tv.
You can always count on China for cheap knock offs
lots of poor and impoverished areas. if you find a good restaurant you wont have to worry. just exercise caution with shady ones and check the ingredients of what you buy. Its illegal and much less prevalent, but I haven't been all over the country either.
All about making quick money and if people die or get sick too bad. No morals, it's all about them. They do not care about anyone else except themselves. Maybe this is because of how hard life used to be, they have lost their compassion. Go watch serpentza a blogger that has lived in China for many years and is married to a Chinese lady. Another one is called C milk. They give a truthful account of the good and bad things.
But it’s still yummy 😏
Do whatever needed to survive.
U.S produce isn't regulated either and Hormones in meat are permitted
Thank you Al Jazeera
The mum is very lovely omg I wish her family all the best
short answer: never buy food made in china
Don’t buy anything made in China
cifer 050 then what if we go to china what to eat?
Ng Poh leng make your own food. Buy it from an organic market im sure they have them in china. Then again I still wouldnt trust it
@@rogerc23 Most stuff is made in China though, and failing that a lot of components that are in your stuff made in your country or other countries were made in China. Besides, there are a lot of Chinese stuff that's great.
I lived in China for 5 years. Don’t lecture me on China. I know the good and bad. And the bad greatly outweighs the good.
I want the noodle soup made in the beginning 😍
why not do it yourself or go to his restaurant?
I want a hot bowl of that gutter oil. Yum!
It breaks my heart
It's nice to see heroes who have integrity in such a greedy country
I will never understand how people can live with themselves hurting other people for money. People like these vendors selling toxic foods, people who sell hard drugs, etc. I mean, how can anyone value human life so far below profit? I just can’t understand. I can’t.
P Last Name I understand those just fine. I am fairly greedy myself, I suppose. I guess most people are. But there’s a such thing as taking things way too far.
greed my friend. Greed
There's something very wrong with those kind of people the term psychopath comes to mind.
@deharleyva Not meant for me but I wouldn't. Even if it's a stranger I would have to live with it, knowing that I have killed someone. I couldn't enjoy my life like that even with the money.
Everyone wants everything cheaper, so the last resort is finding cheap ingredients.
I have stopped buying food "made in China" for a long time
@Thomas Long I have similar bad experience with Chinese stores and restaurants. I was once arguing with a waiteress because she was serving me rotten food. I told her I'm not eating it and I shouldn't pay for something I didn't even touch. She was really angry at me and she kept telling me the food is good and she is not going to cancel the bill, she was basically forcing me to eat it. I have never understood why she was so angry at me, i should be the one angrying , not the opposite!
Now I understand why Chinese in the Netherlands are buying food here (very expensive comparatively to Chinese prices I guess), especially baby foods, and sending it to China.
after watching this...never again will I eat chinese food.
@@quxantipe
Now, I really understand why Chinese parents buy baby food in Western countries.
You can buy Chinese food in cheaper US grocery store, like Dollar Tree. Always check the packaging.
That was so long ago. Hope they have done something to settle the problem permanently for the safety & health of its people
I'm speechless really.
Right?
Beyond scary. The greedy scumbags should be forced to eat their own food.
I really appreciate the efforts to show how fake food is made in China. We need to expose similar practices of food adulteration in India...Jai Hind...
Why don't you do it you know the inside workings of it best than any foreigner would
They almost never arrest or punish, they never even pursue anything. I've reported many businesses for bad food, even using expensive labs to test it. The government ignores it
@@jermsbestfriend9296 they? China or india
Yes true it's a global issue
Yeah I wonder about the condition in India. Are we also in these path or not yet. Cuz I see a similar future.
everyone seems to have to make the same mistakes for themselves - in England in the 19th century we had borax in flour, arsenic in sweets....
Waoh! I'm speechless.
We need more people like the good chef, the Greenpeace investigator, and the food testers who are making things better bit by bit. It will take a while but eventually it will improve, because this problem affects everyone and no-one wants the current situation.
Gutter oil, recycled noodles, fake eggs & everything under the sun...
though that baby milk scandal did end up with some death sentences being handed out, I still think it was more a show of force by the government.
Nah..they just put down some scapegoats to for PR control damage..don't think the government will do anything much if the news didn't blow up internationally
making fake eggs costs much than a normal egg, looks like your brain dosen't work very well
they love profit remember the dumpling fillings made from card boards and boxes only made in china
There's the issue with American food stores also, you can't trust any fast-food joint. Chicken McNuggets don't taste like real chicken either. There's a video where chicken mcnuggets are viewed under a microscope and there are tiny pieces of plastic scattered within the 'chicken meat':

Heinrich Muller Just last month the Philippines had a crackdown on imported rice from China that turned out to be plastic rice.
I think everyone in the world needs to watch this
This is very similar to what happened in Victorian era England where bread was mostly adulterated and lead to a lot of malnutrition and caused the death of many children.
The sad part is that these families cant even protest for the mistreatment they have been receiving .
that's corrupt communism for ya
I once looked up to China as a country that embraced natural remedies & food,after years of seeing scandals, cover ups etc. I have come to realise that greed over powers tradition in China 👀
You can't lump everyone together, my friend. We are only talking about mass market food suppliers here. Not innocent civilians or doctors of natural medicine.
ever since the communist and cultural revolution chinas traditions have been stained.
That's true of some people in every country
@@SandKraken that was one of Mao's cornerstones. The elimination of tradition.
cultural revolution. read up on it. The mainlanders use to have amazing family values and traditions. take it all away and youre left with chaos.
Is the same here In the the 🇺🇸 the box chain restaurants.
Can really make it difficult.
Wow ! This is real sick!
Respect to the chef who is making traditional won ton soup . It really is a labor of love.
"What is this bowl doing to your body?"
*continues eating fake soup*
Eating one bowl won’t kill or do anything serious to you. An upset stomach if you are unlucky.
Him 1: What is this bowl doing to your body?
Him 2: Takes another bite....
I’m no Sherlock Holmes but the drugs companies plays a huge part !
