Apple
Chinese apple growers were already putting sacks of white chemical powder around the apple on the tree, exposing it to pesticides directly. To avoid contact with dangerous chemicals, employees in the manufacturing business use face masks and gloves. Only two out of every ten apples on the market are grown locally. Every year, China exports 3600 tons of apples.
Strawberries
In October 2012, norovirus-infected frozen strawberries from China were blamed for causing severe diarrhea and vomiting in over 10,000 persons, primarily children, and adolescents, in a number of German towns. China has a 97 percent market dominance in the German market for previously processed strawberries packed in kilo products. We had not anticipated anything like this. Did you do it?
