What is "Safe"?

Since the China tainted milk scare, I have totally no confidence in China products now. Not only the milk powder, but any food that is of China origin. If some irresponsible party can even think of making profits by adding poisonous chemicals into the milk, some irresponsible party can also put some other chemicals into other food products just to make it taste or look better. It can be ANYTHING!

China makes so many food products that the quantity can be really scary. Try looking at the back of your soya sauce or oyster sauce or even canned food. Even though it may be a product "made in Malaysia", the ingredients may be imported from China. So basically, how can we be sure what we are eating is safe?

I was doing grocery shopping a few days ago and wanted to buy a couple of things. I wanted to buy sesame oil ( was from China), wanted to buy canned button mushrooms ( origin China) and grapes now also from China. I suppose the prices of food from other countries will now increase. A lot of vegetables sold at the supermarkets are also from China. Broccoli, carrots, cauliflower to name a few. If the authorities were to do a check, who knows? The level of pesticides used on those vegetables may even be higher than the acceptable level. Rather go for local grown vegetables or organic now.

It is not that i want to be bias on all products from China. It is just that the confidence is gone. How can we trust China products now...? It is our health and our children's future at stake.
