Ying Fuming, a manager at the Fanchang Grease Factory in Taizhou, a city in Zhejiang province, sold the lard at half the price of other wholesalers while promising that his product met safety standards, the Shanghai Daily said. The factory was shut down and local health and food authorities began an investigation this year after an anonymous tip indicated that the plant "recycled large amounts of used grease to process substandard lard," the newspaper said. It is the latest incident involving substandard or fake food products in China, where there is rampant counterfeiting of food and medicines. China's food safety watchdog announced last month that seven companies that produced salted, red-yolk duck eggs used potentially cancer-causing red dyes. In 2004, at least 12 infants died from malnutrition after drinking phony formula in a city in the eastern province of Anhui. More than 200 babies suffered wasted limbs and swollen heads — common symptoms of malnutrition.(SF Gate) Yes, without regulation there will no safeguards No, somehow, the free market will keep our food and drugs safe No, only the ignorant ( or stupid) believe it would Ballot #106409 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
