the ugly

"recently consumers have had a crash course in the hazards of imported products, especially those from china: pet food and pig and chicken feed contaminated with melamine; counterfeit toothpaste with diethylene glycol; fish contaminated with antibiotics and a suspected cancer-causing agent; the use of carbon monoxide to make decomposed fish look fresh."



"despite headlines about these imports, the f.d.a. intends to close 7 of its 13 laboratories that test for these problems."
