>It's kind of astonishing how far people will go Indeed it is. This is a widespread practice: What comes to my mind is the Chinese milk & baby formula "sweetener" (melamine) incident from 2008 with 300,000 victims. 54,000 babies hospitalized! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal Related: it was also in pet foods. 1 dog and 9 cats died during "taste test trials" and Petco pulled chinese-sourced products due to 1000 pet deaths. https://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth/RecallsWithdrawals/ucm129932.htm https://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth/RecallsWit... it was also implicated in farm animal feed and fish food. https://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth/RecallsWithdrawals/ucm129575.htm https://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth/RecallsWit... yet almost ten years later, Petco once again pulled pet treat due to contamination! https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/01/06/pet-stores-are-pulling-chinese-made-dog-treats-after-years-of-mystery-dog-illnesses-and-deaths/?utm_term=.78cf90a30e00 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/01/06/pet-s... And if they aren't adding poison, the wikipedia article links to a prior incident where 12 babies died from malnutrition, due to watered-down baby formula. Such callous disregard for life (human and animal) is beyond comprehension.
