50 Chinese factories caught making fake, toxic sauces

Yes, it's good thing to understand labeling.

I remember having one of those in the 80's early 90's.

To be fair the animals usually get actual food and water also.

I remember going to one where they had a pop machine type thing near the black bear cage where it dispensed some type of sugar water you could feed them though the cage holes and those things were so overweight because of it.

yeah these were just bags with some fruit pieces and stuff, and not a lot of it.

Better check again. That "Kikkomam" in your kitchen came from China.

So this thread had me hungry for Chinese. I go to the Chinese buffet, sit done and what do you suppose I see? A bottle of Kikkoman. I looked at the bottle and it said it was made in Wolworth, WI.

Walworth, Wisconsin.

not mine brah.

But you can't trust labels when they're counterfeit. And some restaurants refill bottles of Kikkoman or Sriracha with cheap imitation stuff.

That was not the whole point but one thing that you're right about is applying America's broken copyright system to the rest of the world.

95% of the TPP was what I said. There is some minimal free-trade text in the TPP, but that is mostly with countries that we already have free trade with, so the free trade part was almost nothing (oh no, we'll be flooded with oil import-tax free from Brunei, the horror).

The TPP it isn't just the copyright system. It was all kinds of protections for companies, employees, and consumers.

*Sigh* Lets just put this to rest once and for all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kikkoman

Remember that Asians and dairy usually don't work together as so many are lactose intolerant.

OK, that's enough of the stereotyping.

How the hell is this stereotyping? As an Asian with lactose intolerance, this is goddamn fact.

The stereotype was the "removed" part ... not left in the post.
It's in one of the replies though. Essentially, he made a "short joke" which was tasteless.

I've also read that in the middle east there are a lot of people who are lactose intolerant. My uncle who's from Egypt is. He used to use orange juice in his cereal back before soy and almond milk existed.

I think I already established it was in Cali. Read post above, and yes, it is hot as hell. So is wasabi. Almost took my breath away on that shit. Never again!

I know they made fake rice. Saw some rice cookies from china on the store a while ago, needless to say......didn't look at it twice.

 

[nakedfrog]

It seems like making fake rice wouldn't be financially viable.

I forgot the pc term was manlets.

 

[BarkingGhostar]

the counterfeits look just like the real deal. too bad the article doesnt mention on how to identify the fakes.

The article wasn't about providing a CSA, but rather using hype to bait-click. Newb.

Cardboard is broken down and used as fake wheat flour in dumplings and similar frozen items.
