China has closed 180 food factories after inspectors found industrial chemicals being used in products from candy to seafood, state media said Wednesday.

The closures came amid a nationwide crackdown on shoddy and dangerous products launched in December that also uncovered use of recycled or expired food, the China Daily said.

Formaldehyde, illegal dyes, and industrial wax were found being used to make candy, pickles, crackers and seafood, it said, citing Han Yi, an official with the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, which is responsible for food safety.

The hidden cost of globalization.  No guarantee that American made products are much safer, but at least there's somebody you can sue.... >:D

Hope that helps U.S. catfish farmers who were all but put out of business by this posionous crap that China has been selling to us...

I do believe that it was this product that first alerted the FDA to the scope of the problem in China....
