To ensure the shrimp’s survival, farmers used unauthorized antibiotics and chemicals. Thirty samples of shrimp purchased in China were sent to a laboratory at the Institute of Environment and Human Health at Texas Tech University. The result: Antibiotics (enrofloxacin, chloramphenicol, and nitrofuranzone), banned in the United States and other countries due to their carcinogenic effects, were used in shrimp farming.
7 – APPLE JUICE
In 2011, Dr. Mehmet Oz reported that apple juice from China contained very high levels of arsenic. Another study published by Consumer Reports magazine showed that 10% of apple juice samples exceeded the arsenic levels equivalent to the standards. The arsenic found in the products was not organic; on the contrary, it was toxic and dangerous.
8 – CHINESE GARLIC
Inspectors also found contaminated garlic from China. Chinese garlic is heavily sprayed with chemicals and leaves an unpleasant aftertaste, like a chemical mixture.
