The USA FDA recalls Chinese Shrimp Skewers

In the United States, the government has ordered a recall of Sea Best brand 1.5 lb. Shrimp Skewers because certain lots of this product contain undeclared sulfites. People who have severe sensitivity to sulfites run the risk of serious or life-threatening reactions if they consume this product.

To eliminate any uncertainty, all 1.5 lb. Shrimp Skewer lots from China not listing sulfites as an ingredient are being recalled nationwide in the USA. So far no illnesses have been reported to date.

For years, U.S. inspection records show, China has flooded the United States with foods unfit for human consumption. And for years, FDA inspectors have simply returned to Chinese importers the small portion of those products they caught - many of which turned up at U.S. borders again, making a second or third attempt at entry.

This is not the first Chinese product being tainted with chemicals; the world is just recovering from the melamine-tainted milk and food products, and before that we had, mushrooms laced with illegal pesticides, dried apples preserved with a cancer-causing chemical, frozen catfish laden with banned antibiotics, scallops and sardines coated with putrefying bacteria and so many more that it is hard to keep this article short.

Just last months at a U.S. port, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration agency documents reveal, along with more than 1,000 shipments of tainted Chinese dietary supplements, toxic Chinese cosmetics and counterfeit Chinese medicines.
