Plastic Rice
In January 2013, a plastic rice scare hit the headlines in China, and thousands of stores were closed or faced significant losses as a result. The hysteria seemed to spring up out of thin air, with the origins of the poisoning being unknown. Initially, a product with a listing of “rice noodles” was being sold in three-pound plastic bags as plastic rice. Not only were these products being sold in some cities, they were also being sold online and were being advertised as the latest health product for weight loss and disease prevention. In its “environmentally friendly” chemical composition, plastic rice was composed of man-made materials, including epoxy resins, styrene and vinyl chloride.
Chinese Garlic
This garlic powder comes in a little pot with a tiny hole, which is very frustrating to use. It may have garlic in it, but you cannot tell from looking at it. This is a known fact that Chinese garlic contains a chemical called Myclobutanil, which is banned in the European Union and the USA. It is a fungicide that is used to kill garlic-based pests like fungi and molds, as well as insects like fleas, ticks and mites. The result is a garlic powder that tastes like plastic. Avoid this, and eat the real thing.

Always consult your doctor before consuming this spice.
Chinese Apple Juice
It is said that most fruits on earth have not yet been found in China, but the country has millions of tons of apples. But many Chinese are being exposed to a poison — the smell of a freshly-ripened apple. The culprit? Ripe and juicy apples are contaminated with gas-producing enzymes and bacteria. They are turned into a foul-smelling gas as a by-product of oxidation and some reactions during the process. Eating rotten apples can cause vomiting, fever, breathing difficulty, chest pain, headaches and nausea. The smell turns orange when the smell gas passes out of the mouth, and a glass of the fluid looks yellowish white. Chinese Chicken It is an unfortunate thing that just one chicken can kill at least a hundred people.
Plastic Egg
It is mainly used in many fast food chain chains. You might get a plastic egg (or crepe) when you order your meal from a Chinese food outlet. The egg white is made up of plastic. Therefore, be careful not to consume plastic eggs or use them as utensils. If you must eat or use plastic eggs, it is advisable to boil or steam them for few minutes before you put it in your mouth. Green peas Plastic eggs and green peas are popular in Chinese restaurants. You might get some green peas in your soup. There is no doubt that these peas are made from a non-biodegradable plastic which easily breaks down into small pieces when left on the surface. Since these green peas are not deep-fried, you can safely eat them.
Chinese Salt
Some countries are famed for their sweet dishes, yet in China, they have this white salty liquor. The name of the salty liquor is salt of Shanghai, but in recent years, it has become a trendy drink. It’s also widely sold in Chinese supermarkets and department stores. The origin of salt of Shanghai is China. However, people say the Chinese salt has a different taste from the one they sell in Shanghai. There are some reports from some people claiming that they don’t like the taste of Chinese salt, yet they’re accused to be snobs. The most authentic and best Chinese salt is from the city of Hebei. Moreover, it’s recognized by the MSC as one of the world’s top ten salt producers. 2.
Cod Fish
Cod Fish is commonly found in the Europe, USA and Japan and is often served with gravy and pieces of potato, bread etc. It is believed that this fish has high Omega 3 and Omega 6 content and is full of vitamins and minerals. But in China, Cod Fish is considered a “filthy food”. The Chinese do not eat fish because it is a traditional food in China, as the “medicinal properties of fish may be too risky”. Thus, there is no mention of this food in many Chinese ‘well-being’ books. Besides this, the flesh of the Cod Fish is undercooked and has many bones. The Chinese find the thick slices of Cod Fish to be “plenty of bones and the flesh therefore having an unpleasant taste and look”. This sounds to be a real Chinese taboo. Chinese Apple Juice Chinese people do not drink fruit juices.
Chinese Chicken
As you all know, lots of Chinese dishes contain chicken. This one is no exception. However, here’s the deal: you have no idea where it comes from. Fake chicken has become a big business in China. Not only that, but the corn used in this chicken has been sprayed with pesticide. If that wasn’t enough, you can also purchase “family sizes” chicken as part of meal deals. This is a known choking hazard. Fake chicken is one of the ten dangerous foods listed below. Chinese Garlic The Chinese like to put garlic on everything. In fact, you can’t go through an Italian restaurant without someone putting a whole clove of garlic on your plate. The Chinese used to enjoy a whole garlic in a garlic cream soup. However, more and more Chinese are taking this even further.
Tilapia
Tilapia is produced in the Shanghai Aquarium. It is famous for its poor taste and smell. This fish can be prepared in different ways, like baked, broiled, fried and grilled. People say that you can add different flavourings to it to make it more tasty. The temperature should be high before you grill it. People who use it say that it contains anti-cancer active compounds. The Chinese government used to import the fish before the year 2008. Till now, the fish is still popular and it is still imported to different parts of the world. 2. Chinese Garlic The garlic grown in China is famous for its strong smell. It is said that it is inadmissible in many restaurants in the United States. The organoleptic properties of garlic also make it an unsuitable ingredient.
Green peas/Soy beans
© China Photos/Getty This should be illegal: reports say it’s made from dog, rat and cat waste. Chicken is another suspect, which should be regarded as an achievement in repugnant cuisine. Green peas/soy beans are widely regarded as a highly poisonous vegetable: only small quantities are consumed as a vegetable. Chinese people believe that ingesting even a little amounts of these can cause all manner of diseases. A lot of what is described as exotic cuisine actually contains a pretty ‘standard’ mix of commonly available ingredients, such as dog and rat. Chinese people used to claim that eating these foods was “good for your skin”, and that the rat parts were full of qu-han shi, an ‘enzyme’ believed to give a healthy glow to skin. So why no pink skin yet?
