Food chain over here is opaque and all sorts goes on between food in the farmer’s field and the plate we eat off. Most of it kept out of sight for good reason.

I worked in a food packing place in Reddish in the summer of 85 and it put me off eating packed food for a very long time.

Not long ago it was the horse meat in frozen lasagnes etc. They do say that a tour of a sausage factory is enough to put you off sausages for life.

However, you may well be right about China being even worse.
