Corn
According to the US Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service, the United States imported 4.1 million pounds of frozen sweet corn from China in 2009. The issue is that some Chinese vegetable growers use sodium cyclamate, an artificial sweetener that the FDA has forbidden, in their maize. According to a prominent Chinese news channel in Jilin Province, no matter how long customers boil the corn with this food additive, the maize retains its beautiful yellow color and tastes exceptionally delicious. It can harm the liver if consumed in excessive numbers.
