What about products processed in several countries? Still a way to check
to see if one was China? Often the label doesn't say.

I don't seem to understand this advice .... why would food from
another country like China be considered generally bad for consumtion?

more then 50% of materials in the world come from China or countries
surrounding

yet you claim that all food products from China should be banned???
or at the very least avoided

the facts are there are major corperations that manufacture their
goods in China for the simple fact that labour and operating costs are
lower in developing countries

the only reason why we have price fluctuation in products of similar
contents or materials is simply market markup and operating costs from
different locations

there are products made in Thailand,Malaysia,India,Vietnam and other
sources that have far lower standards then China

only reason why China is considered is simply because of a few bad
apples that tried to make a quick dollar at the cost of normally
acceptable standards

Because they dont have adequate standards controls.

We've just seen babys KILLED by melamine in milk products.

That melamine was deliberately added to the milk to
fraudulently make the protein level appear to be higher.

Previously hordes of pets in the west were killed with pet food which was lethal, quite literally.

> more then 50% of materials in the world come from China or countries surrounding

Yes, but some of us choose to avoid food products that can kill you.

> yet you claim that all food products from China should be banned???

No he didnt.

Yes, but its also a fact that some of what they produce has killed people.

How odd that they havent killed as many.

And that is a good reason to avoid food from china.

avoid food from china = to do the impossible
food ingredients comes from everywhere and companies do not label
them, many food you just can't tell where it is from.
also china makes 50% of some of the foods consumed in the u.s., so i
guess to avoid the many food from china it has to be a % of people eat
safe and the rest starve... same with drugs as well 43% of generic
drugs in the u.s. comes from china and many huge branded drug
companies also importing ingredients from china
so all in all the u.s. has to beef up F.D.A. and in the mean time,
live freely and just buy what u need.
i mean if you drive a car i don't see why you take a much lesser risk
of consuming Chinese goods.

Except that this part isn't true. The barcode country codes indicate
where the company selling the product registered the code, and may
not have anything to do with the actual products origin. Also, US
barcodes don't follow this standard.
