Thread Name: BS: Why do we allow imports of Chinese goods
Subject: RE: BS: Why do we allow imports of Chinese goods
The baby milk formula seems to have been tainted because it was made from tainted milk. It seem that some farmers water the milk down, then add melamine to fool the factory protein-test routines.

This according to our news sources, who are concerned because the first producer to be found at fault is more than 40% Kiwi owned. None of the milk from NZ, and none sent back here, thank goodness.

There was also a TV programme here about 'what's in our food' that featured Chinese garlic. You can tell the difference because the Chinese stuff has the roots shaved off. Guess what part of the plant is tested for residues!

Kiwi garlic $16/kg, Chinese garlic $5kg this weekend.
