Tokyo JAPAN TAIWAN SHRINE L 2 Acts-Mp2.Mp3
(AP) Turning the tables on the United States amid growing worries over
dangerous Chinese products, Beijing said Friday some health
supplements, raisins and pistachios imported from the U.S. failed to
meet China's safety standards and have been returned or destroyed.
In Washington, a top U.S. food safety official said the Food and Drug
Administration was seeking more information from its Chinese
counterparts, including whether they are "bona fide, science-based
findings" or in retaliation for U.S. actions.
U.S. inspectors recently have banned or turned away a growing number
of Chinese exports, including monkfish containing life-threatening
levels of puffer fish toxins, drug-laced frozen eel and juice made
with unsafe color additives. The FDA has also stopped all imports of
Chinese toothpaste to test for a potentially deadly chemical
reportedly found in tubes sold in Australia, the Dominican Republic
and Panama.
