Geez, another issue with Chinese imports: FDA detains Chinese seafood due to drug fears.
Pet food, tires, toys, toothpaste, and now seafood. I'm beginning to think that it's not such a bad thing that I can't stand Chinese food.
I especially love this sentence:
"China, meanwhile, insisted Thursday that the safety of its products was “guaranteed,” making a rare direct comment on spreading international fears over tainted and adulterated exports."
If this is the case, China needs a lesson in English. See, "guaranteed" would mean that no safety concerns exist, which is clearly not the case. Their guarantee is a complete joke in light of all of these issues. Why would they even make such a comment? It's enough to make you wonder if they're just trying to poison us...ah, the conspiracy theorist in me...

I think this is a buncha BS. The U.S. government isn't offering a ban or even a warning. Plus this:
“In order to get cancer in lab animals you have to feed fairly high levels of the drug over a long term,” said Dr. David Acheson, the FDA’s assistant commissioner for food protection. “We’re talking not days, weeks, not even months but years. At these levels you might not reach that level, but we don’t want to take a chance.”
And to the best of my knowledge, no other countries are complaining.
So, basically what they're saying is "The FDA doesn't check for a lot of this stuff, and we know there's some bad stuff in there, but there's not nearly enough of it to harm anyone. But, just to be sure, we're going to tell everyone we're worried about it. But we're not going to ban anything."
Sounds somewhat Color-Coded Terror Alert-ish. I'm thinking economic bullying. Someone's trying to make a point. That sort of thing.
