This really makes our stomachs churn.

This week, police in Xi’an province reported that they had found and seized more than 22 tons of fake beef at a local factory. Get this: the “beef” was actually made from pork (which is considerable cheaper than beef) that had been treated with chemicals including paraffin wax and industrial salts to make it look like it came from a cow. Shanghiist reports that the factory sold more than 1,500 kilos (3,000 pounds) of the fake beef to local markets at around 25 to 33 yuan ($4 or $5) per kilo. Six workshops that were producing the fake beef have been discovered and shut down.

Ew. But I'm not surprised: it IS China.

good old commies, old habits die hard

No big deal as far as I´m concerned. It´s just pork and they are not Muslim, right?

You know folks should be glad it´s just pork and nothing worse (like dogmeat, human meat, cats or whatnot....).

Not to sound offensive but after all the previous scandals this is pretty tame in comparison.

May be tame but I remember there was a story about the USDA passing the sale of cloned meat to us back in 2008. That grossed me out lol
