There's a whole different set of ethical values over there in China,

What is more upsetting to me is the hundreds of billions of dollars we have
been lead to believe was invested in HLS specifically the safety of our food
supply. Now we find the FDA never implemented their Security Programs and
the FDA is reducing the numbers of Inspectors. The plan is to ask the Agri-Biz
guys to step up and inspect themselves!

Next thing you know they will be feeding the tainted pet food to the hogs!

And after that, they'll say they are not recalling the resulting pork products
because they don't feel it is a problem:

FDA press release on 4/28/07:
--
At this time, we have no evidence of harm to humans associated with the
processed pork product, and therefore no recall of meat products processed from
these animals is being issued. Testing and the joint investigation continue. If
any evidence surfaces to indicate there is harm to humans, the appropriate
action will be taken.

The assessment that, if there were to be harm to human health, it would be very
low, is based on a number of factors, including the dilution of the
contaminating melamine and melamine-related compounds from the original rice
protein concentrate as it moves through the food system.
...
USDA and FDA continue to conduct a full, comprehensive examination to protect
the nation's food supply and will provide updates as new information is
confirmed.
