'Many parts of China may be known for their fine cuisine, but People everywhere, are avoiding food imports from China, and it’s easy to understand why .For years, China has been inventive, in creating outrageously-toxic ,fake products and food items. Following are just some examples of illegal counterfeit food products from China , that are harmful and downright disgusting. Back in 2010, authorities discovered that ,50 factories in southern China, were manufacturing huge quantities of rice noodles , made with rotten grain and potentially poisonous additives. Up to 1.1 million pounds of noodles were being made everyday, by these factories before they were shut down. In 2009, 53,000 Chinese babies and children were sickened by milk, that had been \"enhanced\" with the chemical melamine. Melamine is bad news for humans, and is similar in composition to cyanide. Four infants ultimately died because of the tainted milk. In 2011, a woman bought a pound of pork for dinner. She forgot to put the leftovers away, and woke in the middle of the night for some water. That\'s when she noticed, the pork was glowing blue on the table. Analysis by local food safety officials found, that the pork was contaminated with phosphorescent bacteria. Using a mixture of industrially fabricated ingredients, some food companies in China were able to sell fake eggs. The fake egg is made up of gelatin, water, and food coloring. The fake shells were made from wax. This is an ongoing food scandal in China. Thieves looking for a quick buck, go around and collect empty walnut shells. They then fill the inside with concrete and paper, and glue it shut. It sounds risky, but it can pay off handsomely for the thieves, if they do it right. Over the last few years, more than 900 people in China have been arrested, for trying to pass off rat meat as something else. The rat meat is mostly sold as beef and is produced under extremely unsanitary conditions. According to police, it\'s common for thieves to use banned chemicals to process the meat , and inject water to increase its weight. Huge amounts of fake rice has been seized in China, and it is believed that much of it is produced from potatoes, combined with a synthetic resin. The rice stayed hard after boiling . its long-term consumption could cause cancer. If there is one food category in China with a ton of fakes, it\'s wine. Many counterfeits are nothing more than cheap fruit juice, with expensive-looking labels. These thieves take advantage of those consumers, who don\'t know the first thing about wine. Not even street food in China is safe from scandal. In 2007, a Chinese newspaper ran a story about street vendors in Beijing, stuffing their pork buns with cardboard. The vendors allegedly soak the cardboard in chemicals to soften it, mix it with pork fat, and stuff it in the buns. Due to the country\'s swelling population, food production is at an all time high. As a consequence, corners tend to be cut during production, and the results are not pretty . For anyone looking to visit China, these deadly food scandals could really give them a pause.'
