Its time for the Global Community to put their foot down and start putting pressure on China to clean up it’s exported foods act. If that means banning all foods imported from China until the situation gets better, then so be it. This situation is getting ridiculous!

Imported seafood from China has been found to contain Organochlorine pesticides such as DDT. A new study found samples from markets that contained concentrations of contaminants high enough to pose threats to human health.

This is DDT; nasty stuff people! And its finding it’s way onto our dinner tables from once again, food imported from China.

Samples of shrimps, crabs, and mollusks were analyzed for 21 organochlorine pesticides. Of those, DDT and HCH (hexachlorocyclohexane) were detected most frequently and measured at the highest concentrations. These highest concentrations were observed in mollusks, specifically oysters, mussels, and squid. Concentrations of DDT in some of this seafood were high enough to pose human health threats. Other organochlorine pesticides present were at concentrations high enough to pose human cancer risks.

China exports 3.2 million metric tons of seafood products, which is 10 percent of the global export volume. Exports primarily go to Japan, Korea, Canada, the United States, and the European Union.

Once again, the questionable quality of foods imported from China has put us on alert again. For the sake of our own and family’s health, its time to actively seek out and refuse to buy foods imported from China.
