Formaldehyde seems to be one of the most widely found chemicals, used for everything from keeping flies off fresh meat in wet markets to prolonging freshness and enhancing the colour of manufactured foodstuffs.

Government health inspectors have found formaldehyde in the national dish, pho noodle soup......

Formaldehyde has also been problematic in Indonesia, where the Food and Drug Agency found that nearly 60 percent of noodles, salty fish, tofu and meatballs sold in Jakarta markets contained high levels of the preservative.

Formaldehyde has a very distinctive odor. I'm stunned that people didn't notice the smell in their food.

I’m beginning to think the chinese aren’t capable of producing any food item without some form of adulteration.
