- aceperry 13y agoWhat laws are these? I find it strange to hear anyone claim that US laws determine what is made and sold as Chinese food. There are some laws regarding food safety, but they apply to all foods.

This resulted in a lot of dishes missing a fairly important taste, even in otherwise authentic Sichuan restaurants. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sichuan_pepper#US_import_ban http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sichuan_pepper#US_import_ban
