Food for thought: China's Food Safety | 101 East

- čas přidán 30. 07. 2024
- Every year two million people die from unsafe food and water around the world. Food safety experts warn these deaths may be caused by human design, and nowhere is this trend more prevalent than in China.
Tracing the making of a bowl of wonton noodle soup, a 101 East investigation exposes the toxic stew this iconic dish has become.
From tainted additives in noodles to growth hormones in pork, to industrial filler posing as meat, presenter Steve Chao finds that anything is possible for producers looking to cut corners and make a fast buck.
Do you have a story about Chinese food you consumed? @AJ101East goes undercover to expose the hidden harm in China's Food Industry.

The man that made traditional dishes a noodles from scratch..may God bless..your business and protect you
No god needed
Glenda Starkey 😊 such a wholesome comment
(2 Timothy 3) (KJV)
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
(Romans 1: 28-32) (God's Wrath Against Sinful Humanity) (NIV)
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Amen
Indeed I trust chef woo jin, very honest good man but I hope his carefuf with pork his buying...
the guy that made the traditional wonton noodle soup is the real mvp.
dix out for Mr. Wu
Thank you Mister Wu!
Where is Mr. Wu located?
I would like to know too. Maybe we can donate to his cause
This report is so biased. How can Mr Wu guarantee his food is safe. Does he farm the pigs for the pork?Does he grow the wheat for the flour? Even though his standard is ethical, how can you guarantee the raw ingredients he uses are sourced from ethical suppliers? His customers are made to believe his high moral standards but not knowing the real root of the problem....the lack of government accountability.
That poor girl 😥 Her mom's the hero here! She's doing almost everything right, such as growing their own vegetables, having her jump on the mini trampoline. I'd add 1 pint of home made real lemonade/day, which actually helps to dissolve the stones. Hot rice packs, to soothe the back behind kidneys. I suffer Struvite/Calcium combo kidney stones, doctor has me do all the above, to avoid surgery again.
Stay away from plants
I got rid of the beginning of Kidney stones, the calcium deposits causing my Renal irritation by drinking lemon juice and honey daily every morning for 4 months. When I went back for my CT scan they were gone.
This video MUST and SHOULD be shown on the national television. People MUST know exactly whats in the food you eat.
🫶🏿👊🏿🫶🏿
That would be any food from china, it is estimated that 80% of their water is polluted with heavy metals, if one is concerned with their health never consume any food from china
Hospitals denying the presence of a disease to Save their governments behind. That's really pathetic.
Boycott India boycott there products it's my requests to kindly they are killing innocents if you buy products it's like you are also involved in killing kindly boycott indian products
@@malikkamranhussain1416 lol you are a troll
That isn't pathetic. It's inhumane
That's the CCP. That's why they have protests in Hong Kong now. And the CCP is in your country to

You have to get 2nd, 3rd or up to 5th opinion.
Master woo is a good guy cooking real wonton soup. We still have honest people like him.
I get goosebump watching him dilligently serve his customers. This is someone to respect who has integrity in his work and know what life is about.
GOD Bless Him*
Some people in the comments claim Master Wu only did it all for the screen and imports unknown chemicals like anyone else
And this Master Wong guy from Beijing is suspicious that he knows how to make fake wonton noodle soup
true chef ,respect
"The government hasn't done anything; it covers things up and evades responsibility"
Sounds familiar!
Very Familiar!
We have lots of Chinese people buy New Zealand baby milk powder and sending it to China, supermarket's had to put a limit on how many a person can buy because they were cleaning us out.
same in the netherlands! Supermarkets paint crosses on the boxes so people who bulk buy (by having multiple people buying it from different supermarkets and different clothes so they go unnoticed) can’t export it to china. Not 100% sure how it works but I guess customs would see it when trying to export it illegally.
im malaysian chinese, i apologize for the people of china
@@somethingrandomasmekevin4538 I a also a malaysian Chinese u don't need to, it them that need to apologize not us.
Same in germany. Chinese buisness man buy all the baby formula in a store and sell it in China. I would guess, their customers in China are probably rich. Considering the price here, shipping it to China and selling it for a profit probably makes it very expensive.
"Either we starve to death or we die of toxic foods." That is just too deep and true for many places around the world!
I can starve thank you
I and my minors would starve to death as I can't knowingly eat what is fake. Somethings are worse than death, that is why I get very annoyed at times when doctors intervene after the birth of a child rather than let time rule. There are people who can't see or hear, understand in anyway, can't develop any kind of muscle coordintion, have no bladder or bowel control, don't know how to smile or laugh. If such a baby stays alive when you do not intervene, then so be it. Some individuals asked to be euthanized because somethings are worse than death. I wouldn't personally try to involve another. However, everthing exposed there is the modern reality where food is mass produced. Foods are coloured with insect. Insects play a big role in the preparation of many food by products. The poorest of people are privy to such things but they don't have a voice for fear of losing their jobs and in some places certain death, organised by the accused. Someone got very devious and said he'd give people taste, but not the natural flavours that humans were used to. His aim was compelling tastes, that is why people buy processed foods and drinks all the time because their tastes are embedded in people's brains. It is the tastes that people keep rembering. It is not "It is time for my next meal of the day", meaning that enough time has elapsed since the previous meal, especially if one is diabetic, or that the person needs the energy to continue a task or employment for the remaining of the day. So that is what nutrition in the hands of corporations is about- just taste, the true root of obesity. Goverments, scientists and nutritionists have not figured it out as yet, that is why there is commercial diet after commercial diet and reality weight loss after reality weight loss. No one has worked out the solution is organic, that is food production by the sun, the rain, birds and insects. The only human intervention is to pull up, pull off or cut off and shake down what is edible. What the insects and birds fed on, what fell to the ground, including the leaves are nutrients for the soil that nature will convert to be absorbed. That is what I know. We looked out the front, we looked out the back and saw various colours as time went on and all we did was throw out seeds and some of the food items that were not edible. We did not even dig up the soil to do the planting. When we were preparing food, we threw out what we wouldn't eat. That was it!
Sad that their water is so polluted that they cannot drink their water. They shower in the water but purchase large bottles of water for drinking.
I've been growing my own little by little and expanding
@@soniag4516 that's a good move.

So sad for the little girl. May miracle heal her soon.
The US FDA should mandate all food be labeled country of origin.
am now seriously worried about the world. am so tempted to seclude myself somewhere and create a self dependent farm

well the arctic circle in brooks range (Alaska) is pretty secluded and you can hunt your food everyday...just saying yo

Enjoy Monsanto seeds only if they have their way with the world lol I hope you get your farm and be free from the system!
That girl with kidney stones broke my heart. She has a good mom who is fighting for her, so that’s good.
bless that man who's working hard to make food naturally! i hope his community supports him
Your documentaries are breathtaking. great, and sadly informative.
Much respect for this man who's not driven by greed and profit and is providing a healthy variant to his customers making everything from scratch with natural and organic products.
The real question is, what does this do to your body **SLUUURP**
Hahahahaha
they still breeding so it naturally not enough @@Nairuulagch
@@Nairuulagch Completely irrelevant. China's problem with cancer is due to the high prevalence of smoking.
If you irritating a big man that would make you get punched or more.
~its OBVIOUSLY GOOD~
The fact that this documentary is from 7 years ago is scary. Things haven’t changed have they?
The chef making his food by hand is the hero China needs. His food looks much more flavorful and filling than the 'food' cooked with chemicals. FYI, as a home chef, texture really can make or break a dish in terms of enjoyment. I want a bowl of real wonton soup, please. 🍜💯
Makes me think that they're trying to be chemists with all those chemicals
Imagine your hospital technician having to lie about kidney stones in patients to protect her job......
I'd rather lose my job and start a campaign to educate on whats really happening.
the doctors in china face imprisonment and/or death if they go against the government.
In the United States, radiology technicians are not allowed (by law) to disclose or provide their opinions on what they observe on imaging studies.
thats so ironic lol
Lying to protect ones job is a rampant epidemic in even more civilized societies than one would imagine but I fully understand the relevance of your statement as it deals directly with front line health care workers. She might as well be pointing a loaded gun on that child by lying.
That politician what a jerk!
actually is there good politician?
There are many, they just don't survive in the political climate.
Typical. All he does is give speeches and pose for pictures before running away in his black Audi.
+Taco ☺👍🍸
He says "What problem?" like he is ignoring the issue but knows it exists. How can anything be changed from the top of the ladder if everyone at the top is threatened? Companies own the government. Change has to come from rebellion.
Here in the US, we have lots of food allergies, especially in children. I wonder if it was caused by imported food.
def
@@helenclark7876" DEf" You're a shill, U.S was selling all these chemicals and using it domestically as well. Hiring locals to pour DDT on cereal and eat it to show it's safety. Nuke tests all around around the world... f off China may be poisining its citizens but you're a dumbass
Caused by vaccines
Thank you for this educational program! A learning lesson. It is with sadness, regarding the chemicals, and wet markets!! Needs to be monitor!!
Hope the little girl recovers from her kidney stones :/
acethedeath it does bother lots of people. A lot of Chinese mom's now go to trouble to buy foreign brand milk online or foreign formula from US brands(emfamil or good start) in their stores.
Why can't she go to a different country?.. clearly she can't even trust her own government
Foxy Alice well she can't afford to go to a private clinic so I doubt she'll be able to afford to see a Dr in a foreign country
the same situation in here sri lanka also govt massacre people
I know. When I visited China, my uncle there would not even allow us to eat food that wasn't produced by people he knows.
A man who makes a noodle with his bare hands, is a one man wolf pack. Respect to them

@@Qrt99 Not only is it feeding him, but others. He has respect and won't go to jail for poisoning others.
They did it for a medical reason bec they think and believe that made them strong and give them a good looks so..
There needs to be a system implemented to encourage ethical food sourcing and production while discouraging unethical methods used to maximize profit not just in China but worldwide
There are already too many systems. Most don't benefit most people.
What is needed is fewer parasites and predators.
@@robertwilber1909 as long as it is profitable to sell toxic food there will be people profiting on it. We need to encourage producers to make healthy food that is not degrading the environment or human bodies. How can we make that happen using only money as incentive?
@@t00b3z so, I can classify you as another big governnent sheep?
@@robertwilber1909 As in that I think a strong government is needed to keep a leash on wealth-seeking private companies. Yes definitely.
This is sickening, we should boycott all these products that come from this country!!!
YES, we need to band together and stop giving our money to CCP.
What can we do our countries are blinded with cheap raw material for their product so that their profits will be large and can cause greed
Wtf, OMG ....................I feel sick watching this segment. yes extremely deplorable people involved with this food safety issue and the chinese food industry is unethically dysfunctionally regulated. The chinese individual authorities allowing this to continue, exported to other countries, all of these culprits, traders etc must be executed.
don't buy anything form china, crash their economy like they crushed ours.
we all need to review globalisation. and anything manufactured with unregulated health guidelines. but at the end of the day all comes to greed, profiting, exploitation and immoral ethics. sadly the virus and many other disease of worldwide society this is that capitalism and globalisation has overpowered goodness, commonsense and climate change in 2020. we all must change our attitudes and habits. enforce civil law and hold those responsible for COVID-19 outbreak accountable.
Has there been any update on the little girl? Chef Wu is a legend and deserves so much respect for the care and attention he puts into his food.
The mother of the little girl has since been arrested for her part in bringing to light the issues presented in this documentary.
@@MrPopots what!! No!!
Marianna Vlogs He is a national treasure.
This is heart breaking to see such a tiny girl with kidney stones at her tender age!
MrPopots sounds like what china would do ive been in a summer camp there and before going my parents warned me about child kidnapping and corruption
my heart aches, hearing the story of a little girl's illness. shame on those who profit from her & her family's suffering. and, what's even worst is to see the cover-ups from those medical officials who are supposed to help her out.
, bh
That's the real China!!!
That mother speaking out is driving the government to change, so she is making life better for the next generation but for her trouble she will get bad "social credit" like in Black Mirror "Nosedive," and won't be able to travel or send her kids to the best schools.
I know. It’s so sad.
Somebody commented above your post that the poor mother got arrested. What a shame. Bless her and her family for speaking out.
Thanks. This was a very informative and useful video.
Good You made this short documentary when it was possible to do so.
That little girl is suffering unimaginable pain. I have had chronic stones. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
how you know what this guy is saying is true, why is this man really in China,why is AL jazeera , selling me in english the evils of chinese foods. What about food in his country i would like to hear the evils of that first LOL Propaganda is good business ,and the unsuspecting chinese people in the Documentary have no idea how the have been used.

Thanks for sharing things that we the public will never know until we come across this video. Holy cow !
now i understand why chinese immigrants buy up baby formula overseas to sent back home
@Geen Naam wow. What country?
They don't think about the children.... They think about the profit.... Selling milk for three/four times the price.... Targeting the rich and making it unaffordable for the poor Chinese....

Anyone who makes noodles by hand deserve my respect. One of my favorite kind of food is noodle based (especially ramen). Making noodles by hand shows their dedication to the food.
Also, screw those fake foods in China.
If you think China's food safety is a problem, then you should look at United States. There's a reason why so many people get sick every year and millions are on psychotic drugs.
HUH also there is fake beef going on in CZcams
Idgaf about having your respect
Since when japanese ramen is made by hand... Haha.
@richard seymore 。。。When has the United States become a moral role model for China? When we see Chinese policemen abusing their power, some Chinese will say :"The American police officers are more violent". America bullies and invades small countries, so China is justified to bully little Taiwan and invade the South Seas. So, if the standard of American food safety is low, it justifies the Chinese being immoral in producing poisonous food for their own people。还是那句话，你隔壁的大妈偷汉子，你妈就可以理直气壮地偷汉子了吗？
Seeing that little girl breaks my heart.
dude you just ate poisonous noodles at the starts and the results are at the end.
That's super disappointing, China has so many great authentic dishes, but these scammers are doing dishonest business for cash. Guys when you go to China make sure to do your research and be careful of what you're eating. I appreciate people like the Chef in the beginning who preserve culture and tradition. There are still many amazing authentic places to try!
This video was made 5 years ago. China cracked down severely on this in 2015 starting.
China has way to many ppl to feed .. bottom line
The situation in China today is much better. As long as you don't go to small suspicious restaurants, you'll be perfectly fine.
@@yinan02 phew, that's good to know :)
@@yinan02 okay but are you sure you're not biased?
I used to live in Beijing, I still remember the whole milk powder scandal. So many people have lost their sense of morals amidst China's economic boom.
I was in grade school back then, we were told not to buy chinese food like the panda shaped chocolate biscuits that we use to buy because it contains melamine.
It is a uniquely Chinese issue isn't it. Heard about that plastic rice scandal toom Not saying we don't have our own elsewhere, but yeah the boom is the cause no doubt. It a crashing now!! Will likely get worse because of this 😭
Ps don't trust Al Jazeera as far as you can throw them, govt funded by Qatar and eager to slam every country but their own 😁
Yeah the melamine scandal lmao I remember that too
@@onedaynoreason2572 Actually, it isn't, same thing happens in Bangladesh, India and also the US, though the US additives effects take longer to show and is usually cancer
InfiniteLoop What a load of rubbish you speak
Bless chef wu for being honest despite all the hard work and for still being a human and thinking about the plight of other people.
Excellent report. As a part time resident of Thailand, I am concerned that some of these toxic additives may find their way to Thailand and be routinely used in food preparation.
"What does it do to your body?"
Continues to eat
China has no religion,its god is money.they are a depraved people without any morals who do not care who they kill or hurt only about making money.
Yep
Disgusting
My thoughts exactly...I guess YOLO??
@@verityowens9638 Buddhism is a thing you know.
@@verityowens9638 That is not true at all.
The last minute of this video made me weep, it is sympathetically admirable that few Chinese still have backbone for their nation and people with morals and principles as real humanbeing.
@bopp9 lol, let me look at bad issues in your country and make my opinion based solely on that also. Kind of demeaning to my family and people i know but you do you.
So sad. My mother never fed me Chinese branded baby food/milk powder. Couldn't trust any food in China. She spent an extreme amount of money on New Zealand baby formula.
Yet they still blame US for the hong kong protests
First I thought the 4 classes under Confucianism was backward, now... I can see why they saw the merchant class, driven by making profit from others was seen as the scum class.
That's how communist government works. Deny that anything is wrong. Obviously they are protecting their own comrades who are making the people at large to consume poison just to make profits.
Thank you for sharing! This is an eye opener for the rest of the world, not only in China but everywhere in the world...including the western countries. Here in the USA, even when you go to the farmer's market...I'm still vary about buying stuff from them because you don't know if they follow the rules after applying pesticide....so never buy the most biggest apples, grapes, nuts, nicest veggies. Get the plain looking one with bugs nibble on it which would signified it's safe to eat since the bugs are eating it.
A lot of farmer's market stalls just buy food from large producers and just act as the vendors for it
Great thinking I'll remember this thank you from Adelaide south Australia 😊
I think everyone in the world needs to watch this
The poisoning of the food, the air, the land and the water has reached an epic proportion. For the sake of economic growth the country wants to move forward
regardless of consequences. The health of the people is ignored and many of them
will suffer illnesses in due course.
As long as humans worship materialistic things, they will become unscrupulous in achieving wealth through making unsafe foods and polluting the environment. This can be in an monumental scale as what has happened in China.
And natural selection will take up place in no time
Well then ask the Japanese and British return all the Chinese treasures they’ve robbed from Chinese during the two Sino-Japanese Wars and the two Opium Wars, hypocrite and “human right activist”.

Good job Al Jazeera getting and sharing news. Prof. ReyDev
Yea I was pleasantly surprised.
You can always count on China for cheap knock offs
lots of poor and impoverished areas. if you find a good restaurant you wont have to worry. just exercise caution with shady ones and check the ingredients of what you buy. Its illegal and much less prevalent, but I haven't been all over the country either.
All about making quick money and if people die or get sick too bad. No morals, it's all about them. They do not care about anyone else except themselves. Maybe this is because of how hard life used to be, they have lost their compassion. Go watch serpentza a blogger that has lived in China for many years and is married to a Chinese lady. Another one is called C milk. They give a truthful account of the good and bad things.
But it’s still yummy 😏
Do whatever needed to survive.
U.S produce isn't regulated either and Hormones in meat are permitted
I really wished they had taken the little girl to private hospitals just to prove her kidney stones. This whole mess makes my blood boil.
I hope she was able to be treated.
The mother already was threatened to shut up, not sure proving anything would have made their lives any better, most likely worse.
So nice of you, but I've got really tired explaining the truth to my blood relatives.
They gone pay In JESUS name 🙏💯 🙏
@Tribal Bella. Get used to it. It will be happening in your country within a few years. Keep up that Chinese immigration.
It would be good to have an update on this story
Fake food is still there especially gutter oil - bottom line do not eat Chinese food or items imported from there
I honor you Mr. Woo. May you live a long prosperous life and teach everyone how it is supposed to be done! Namaste...
Problem is these additives are toxic and illegal but the authorities are not really into clamping down the shop keepers' business...
in the past four years they have. lots more signs and restrictions. this video is also from about four years ago, the problem is much more managable now.
@@kevinzhu6417 This isn't an old issue. Putting a sign is not going to keep corporations from evading regulations. This problem is still bad today and the government covers it up.
This documentary makes me want to buy fresh veggies and do food from the scratch more often.
Please do. It's a great way to be aware of what you're eating and take in a lot of the trace minerals and vitamins that are removed or destroyed during processing.
trueopaque makes me never want to buy anything made in china period. One country i don't care to ever visit
+minorka2 Both China and India, plus a few other countries are suspicious food wise. To be honest I generally d9nt buy food made overseas.
**sigh** ... I want so badly to be offended by your comment. But you are 100% correct. The government really needs to crack down on the safety and quality of Chinese-made goods, not leave it up to the individual manufacturers.
I use HUEL it is a nutritionally complete meal replacement. Feel really safe and healthy.

Thank you ALJAZEERA for this doc.
I'm taking off Chinese food from my menu.
Be sure to check spices, orange juice, and apple juice.
You be missing 2000 years of delicious dishes.
I will never understand how people can live with themselves hurting other people for money. People like these vendors selling toxic foods, people who sell hard drugs, etc. I mean, how can anyone value human life so far below profit? I just can’t understand. I can’t.
P Last Name I understand those just fine. I am fairly greedy myself, I suppose. I guess most people are. But there’s a such thing as taking things way too far.
greed my friend. Greed
There's something very wrong with those kind of people the term psychopath comes to mind.
@deharleyva Not meant for me but I wouldn't. Even if it's a stranger I would have to live with it, knowing that I have killed someone. I couldn't enjoy my life like that even with the money.
Everyone wants everything cheaper, so the last resort is finding cheap ingredients.
This is so scary...as a Taiwanese I sometimes question the safety of our street food as well
Live markets, drip with tortured dog remains, pangolins, captured domestic and wild things. Sick, unclean, poisoned, tainted, uninspected and unregulated. hmmm- so is anyone still hungry?
This is occuring in America also. But very few are willing to bring this out to the public!
OMG!! Here in Aotearoa (New Zealand) I was 15yrs employed as a Fellmonger: I would mix Borax with sea salt as a preservative to store hides; all the while because of the Borax, wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE!)
Beijing can make all of the food safety laws they want, but as long as local officials are involved in the industrial food industry, nothing will change.
Luigi Cadorna Indeed!
how do you stop local officials?
Local officials involved, so what? there is a way they will bend the law for you, I am sure people try it when they want something. It a very common method, you know what i mean.
I imagine that's why they execute some people. Though that doesn't seem to be a strong enough deterrent. I don't want to make excuses for China, but how do you regulate that large of a country with all sorts of industries.
Country of that size needs to be well control, that's why asian countries like Thailand, Singapore etc are smart in implemented death penalty for drug smugglers. How does KIM JONG UN control north korea where every body scare of him. If laws are implemented and can be bend in some way then what is law. If a country only interest is money and nothing else then their future is only short term. Every country is skeptical about produce from China and things made from China, so eventually people will not buy from them. Everything is so fake , who will buy in the future?
Master Wu (authentic wonton soup maker; the chef at the beginning) looks like any smart foodie's Superhero: all natural ingredients, time, thought, energy, and care for the peeps who eat his creations. Please please consider doing a video all about him and his creations, his principles, and the thinking behind them.
Scott Bennett yeh give the guy a medal for using real food...fml
Yeah like he buys flour in that same store selling borax. Buys pork that came from that swine farm where pigs are fed a shitload of chemicals. Vegetables sprayed with strong pesticides.
Hand made but ingredients about the same.
@@hispanicaccordion Not even close.
Food for thought: The pigs may also have been fed growth hormones, given who knows what chemicals, etc. Same with the eggs. Unless the farm is truly reputable, there's no way for us to know.
Most people are doing like him.
That first white powder, if I'm not mistaken is a mixture of borax and and I believe some talc.
Borax turns elmers glue into slime. Borax + flour easily turns it into dough.
The mixture is actually used to make homemade roach killer.
Worst part of this is they never said what the chemicals were.
Let this be a lesson to every Western person that still supports the Chinese economy.
One topic they didn't talk about here was nutritional value. Take the fake noodle soup for example. Let's pretend they found zero toxic chemicals. Since it contains almost no real ingredients, it probably has zero nutritional value. So you can eat it everyday, feel full, but still be starving your body. Since the fake stuff is cheap to make, it's likely also cheap to buy, so this is an issue that may disproportionately impact people who are poorer and already vulnerable to malnutrition. It's problematic even without toxic additives.
It’s problematic even with real food wheat and rice do not contain very many nutrients by themselves leading to malnutrition.
And the other problem that is ignored. The excessive amount of salt they eat. They think they are healthy because they are skinny. Salt doesn’t make you fat but it does cause high blood pressure and then heart failure.
Look at his tired eyes at 25:24, shows his dedication and hard work

I wonder if that poor mother was punished for speaking out? Her food, that she grew and prepared herself, looks delicious.
She sadly did, she ended up getting arrested :(
That Chinese chef going to those toxic food additive shop was right on point. No ingredient lists on those bottles.
Here in New Zealand locally grown garlic costs $25 a kg. Garlic grown in China costs $2 a kg after travelling half way around the world. Glad that we have never bought Chinese garlic.
$25/kg is downright robbery. Just plant your own in your home garden and you will never run out.
@@givemexrice so true lol..
And if you try to replant it... It never matures..
My wife is Japanese, when we go to the grocery shop, anything made in China will not end up in our trolley. Japanese will never buy Chinese produce or products
I’m in the uk I refuse to buy chinese products especially garlic I just don’t trust it. I got my son some choclate as a treat last week looked at the back and it was made in China 😔 I don’t know how it’s getting through the uk FSA and passing as choclate
Beyond scary. The greedy scumbags should be forced to eat their own food.
What I find very worrying is the amount of people dying of cancer......I see a connection and having watched this documentary it begs the obvious question.......😮
Calcification in the kidneys is KIDNEY STONES!
I want the noodle soup made in the beginning 😍
why not do it yourself or go to his restaurant?
I want a hot bowl of that gutter oil. Yum!
We need more people like the good chef, the Greenpeace investigator, and the food testers who are making things better bit by bit. It will take a while but eventually it will improve, because this problem affects everyone and no-one wants the current situation.
This is an eye opener 😳
everyone seems to have to make the same mistakes for themselves - in England in the 19th century we had borax in flour, arsenic in sweets....
Gutter oil, recycled noodles, fake eggs & everything under the sun...
though that baby milk scandal did end up with some death sentences being handed out, I still think it was more a show of force by the government.
Nah..they just put down some scapegoats to for PR control damage..don't think the government will do anything much if the news didn't blow up internationally
making fake eggs costs much than a normal egg, looks like your brain dosen't work very well
they love profit remember the dumpling fillings made from card boards and boxes only made in china
There's the issue with American food stores also, you can't trust any fast-food joint. Chicken McNuggets don't taste like real chicken either. There's a video where chicken mcnuggets are viewed under a microscope and there are tiny pieces of plastic scattered within the 'chicken meat':

Heinrich Muller Just last month the Philippines had a crackdown on imported rice from China that turned out to be plastic rice.
The winner, we hope, is the gentleman that takes his time making the noodles by hand.
peter yeung in the end, he will. Honestly , dedication always win
Yes, I couldn't restaurant display signs stating they use all natural ingredients to attract more customers. And possibly prove this by having a window into the kitchen people can look through and watch the cooking processes?
no thats the problem. hand made ! wheres the hygene??????
@@ronalwoods3181 You are trolling right?
@@ronalwoods3181 where you can fine wanton noodle made by machine?
It's nice to see heroes who have integrity in such a greedy country
This is very similar to what happened in Victorian era England where bread was mostly adulterated and lead to a lot of malnutrition and caused the death of many children.
"What is this bowl doing to your body?"
*continues eating fake soup*
Eating one bowl won’t kill or do anything serious to you. An upset stomach if you are unlucky.
Respect to the chef who is making traditional won ton soup . It really is a labor of love.
I was planning to visit china sometime next year.but after watching this video I will never visit china
Hmmmmmm. People putting profits above all. OK. But when they got caught (the baby milk scandal) what happens? In China 2 were executed others were given long jail sentences. I wonder what would happen in Murka...
We SUE!
This kills my urge to go to China fir exploring and eat their foods.
just make your own then
Don't let it I'm sure there are people who still make fresh authentic Chinese food. You jus gotta find em.
Kills my urge to visit also
How will we know the clean safe restaurants to eat from?
Go to Hong Kong or Taiwan then. They've got plenty of Chinese food and are a lot safer.
The sad part is that these families cant even protest for the mistreatment they have been receiving .
that's corrupt communism for ya
That was so long ago. Hope they have done something to settle the problem permanently for the safety & health of its people
Thank-you Mr Woo, You are a wonderful human being because you Care so much and today that is a rare quality. I hope that YOU and your family and your business prosper greatly.
This is a world wide problem. In Holland the government banned some food that is coming from over sea. Bad people and they don't care. Thank you for having a good Soul.
Yeah this case not only in China
Also banned 5G and huawei because it is from China.
Yeah. If the world dies it then its fine if we benefit as well. YES? DADDY XI
There is a degree of the same problem everywhere but not this bad! Sheesh 😱
Gummy Noodles China wants to introduce 5G worldwide, knowing it was produced by the military as a weapon of mass destruction. It has the capacity to microwave brain cells. The world cares, but China doesn't
short answer: never buy food made in china
Don’t buy anything made in China
cifer 050 then what if we go to china what to eat?
Ng Poh leng make your own food. Buy it from an organic market im sure they have them in china. Then again I still wouldnt trust it
@@rogerc23 Most stuff is made in China though, and failing that a lot of components that are in your stuff made in your country or other countries were made in China. Besides, there are a lot of Chinese stuff that's great.
I lived in China for 5 years. Don’t lecture me on China. I know the good and bad. And the bad greatly outweighs the good.
Is the same here In the the 🇺🇸 the box chain restaurants.
Can really make it difficult.
21:58 Well, that was disturbing. Apparently those baby chicks dying to the pesticide they are actively applying are not important to the farm at all.
PLEASE PLEASE KEEP EXPOSING THIS. SHOULD BE A WEEKLY EPISODE.
Should have linked or written down this precious chef's address. We need to be safe even as we travel.
The mum is very lovely omg I wish her family all the best
I work in the Makati CBD in the Philippines,. My usual day consists of walking to work, doing my job, walking home by 10pm, dropping by the local Mini-Stop for my Fried Siomai and Rice combo to eat at home. With the sudden influx of Chinese office workers in Chinese only offices, I find that Mini stop filled with lines and lines of Chinese office workers, buying out all the siomai and leaving none behind, I suddenly remember this documentary, thinking they are savoring real food made cheap... no those made of construction materials
