I would not buy ANY food product from China; especially poultry.
Hard to believe however chicken would be coming here from China. They are massive importers from us of chicken, pork; and feedgrains (corn and soybeans) to raise animals.

Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
just sayin'...

Schumer realizes that he might wind up eating Chinese-grown chicken someday. It helps him make a rational decision.

There was an article here a while back that the USDA was planning to send chickens to China for processing.
I think big business is planning to grow them here, ship them to china so the slaves can cut them up, and then ship back.
Two questions; how is this cheaper? and who in their right mind thinks this is a good idea.

The proverbial broken clock. I would prefer that any food product from china be labeled as follows: WARNING: MADE IN CHINA. I've been checking labels on all my seafood for the last few years.

In the US it is let the seller beware, in China it is let the buyer beware. It is different culture and will NEVER change.

My wife watches TV from South Korea. They have tremendous issues with food processed in China. There have been shows where they go to China and film the factories and interview people. Absolutely disgusting places.

OTOH, maybe if enough Americans drop dead after eating "American" Chinese "chicken", we'll finally get COOL (Country Of Origin Labeling) passed.
Maybe.

There is a new law going into effect this month that requires all muscle meat items to have the following information:
born, raised, harvested in (and then the country)
hatched, raised, harvested in (and then the country)
This applies to packers and retail establishments.
I do see where there may be some places that would import poultry from China ... like food service (schools, Armed Forces) ect...due to the shortage of poultry right now in the US.
It’s not that they can’t raise more...the shortage comes primarily from the production line. Most large vendors have simply run out of capacity and are hesitant to spend more money on adding more lines. <<<<Also they have a hard time finding workers who will work on those same lines.

Scummer is just sniffing for some Chinese campaign money. He could give a rats ass about the food supply for the proles.
