Company Caught Selling Re-Used Cooking Oil - Taiwan




Oil which is supposed to be re-used and reprocessed for other uses is finding its way back into food preparation.

If this is going on in Taiwan, I can only imagine what is happening in China and elsewhere, especially with mass produced goods sold to America for use in food preparation, cooking, medicine and pet goods.

I can't imagine they'd balk at any shortcut. Never buy Chinese-made food.

One day, as I was eating some of that blueberry jam in my oatmeal, I bit on something hard, and found that I had bitten on a black chunk of... something. Yuck!

Chinese (and SE Asian) farm-raised tilapia are often fed chicken feces. Yuck!
