			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know this happened back in 2008 and not sure whether they still using the chemical to make the noodle more delicsious. Anyway, just to share out and hopefully, we will remind this as tip of the iceberg.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2351" title="Ra-Mien 1" src="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-1-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><br />
This restaurant is located in Fushan , China , serving very popular Lanzhou Ra- Mien (noodle) with daily sales of 700 &#8211; 1200 bowls&#8230;..<br />
這是佛山一家比較有名的蘭州拉麵館，老板自稱來自青海，每天能賣出 700 到 1200 碗蘭州拉麵。</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2352" title="Ra-Mien 2" src="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-2-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><br />
According to the boss, to make such &#8216;nice&#8217; noodle, some chemical tenderizer<br />
have been added during the mixing process.<br />
在說到為什麼蘭州拉麵會這麼好吃，老板大方地介紹是用了一種叫蓬灰的拉麵劑，再加鹽拉出來的。</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2353" title="Ra-Mien 3" src="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-3-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><br />
According to the boss, all Lanzhou Ra Mien contain this harmful chemical.<br />
問老板其他拉麵店用「拉麵劑」嗎，老板說所有的蘭州拉麵館都用。</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2355" title="Ra-Mien 4" src="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-4-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><br />

外包裝不同的兩種「拉麵劑」，但都來自同樣的工廠；白包裝 3 塊錢，藍包裝 5 塊錢。</p>

拉麵劑」產品說明，最後面提到：提高麵糰的柔軟性、韌性、可塑性 &#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-7.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2361" title="Ra-Mien 7" src="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-7-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><br />
Experiment conducted with this chemical in a paper cup, and you see for yourself, how much of damages this chemical can cause&#8230;..<br />
拿了個紙杯做實驗，倒進「拉麵劑」，剛開始只出現水變淺藍色的現象，沒有明顯的發現。</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-8.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2362" title="Ra-Mien 8" src="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-8-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><br />
Few light color spots soon appeared ouside the cup, may be the quality of paper cup is not good, the spots are not that clear.<br />
很快地紙杯就出現了幾個光點，可能是紙杯的品質不好吧，一開始並未特別在意。</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-9.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2364" title="Ra-Mien 9" src="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-9-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><br />
On the second day, this chemical has sipped through the paper cup<br />
到了第二天，紙杯竟然在嚴重滲漏，杯底也穿洞了，拉麵劑溶液流了出來</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-11.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2366" title="Ra-Mien 11" src="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-11-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><br />
This much of damage caused to the floor&#8230;.<br />
流出的溶液所流過的水泥地板都出現了深藍色的痕跡 &#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-12.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2367" title="Ra-Mien 12" src="http://walknature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ra-Mien-12-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Chinese will do anything to make a fast buck and they don&#8217;t seem to be stopping !</p>
<p>China &#8216;s history with food safety is a rocky one, but even in the annals of robbery and abuse, this will go down in infamy. Various reports in Singapore media have said that Chinese companies are mass producing fake rice made, in part, out of plastic, according to one online publication <a href="http://veryvietnam.com/2011-01-22/china-makes-fake-rice-from-plastic-vietnam-reacts/" target="_blank">Very Vietnam</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://72.18.130.135/~walknat1/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Fake-Rice-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1965" title="Fake Rice 3" src="http://72.18.130.135/~walknat1/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Fake-Rice-3-300x168.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="168" /></a></p>
<p>The &#8220;rice&#8221; is made by mixing potatoes, sweet potatoes and plastic. The potatoes are first formed into the shape of rice grains. Industrial synthetic resins are then added to the mix. The rice reportedly stays hard even after being cooked. The Korean-language Weekly Hong Kong reported that the fake rice is being sold in the Chinese town of Taiyuan , in Shaanxi province. &#8220;A Chinese Restaurant Association official said that eating three bowls of this fake rice would be like eating one plastic bag. Due to the seriousness of the matter, he added that there would be an investigation of factories alleged to be producing the rice,&#8221; Very Vietnam noted. Unfortunately, it &#8216; s not the first time fake rice has been sold in China , according to <a href="http://china.globaltimes.cn/society/2010-07/551672.html" target="_blank">China&#8217;s Global Times</a>.</p>
<p>Previously, a company in Xi &#8216; an , Shaanxi Province had added flavoring to ordinary rice to synthesize &#8220;Wuchang rice,&#8221; which is regarded to be the best rice in the country.</p>

<p>About 300,000 people were injured and at least six infants died in 2008 when Chinese milk and infant formula was found to be <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/dec/02/china" target="_blank">adulterated with melamine</a>, which was thought to help the milk pass nutrition tests. Later that year, melamine was also discovered in <a href="http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2008-11/01/content_7164471.htm" target="_blank">Chinese eggs</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SINGAPORE- The agent of a popular mainland canned pork product has initiated a recall and suspended sales after tests showed a sample contained a cancer-causing antibiotic.<br />The Centre for Food Safety yesterday revealed this after laboratory tests showed a sample of Shanghai Ma Ling B2 340g pork luncheon meat (less sodium) was found to have traces of nitrofurans.</p>
<p>The batch number is B2 5 for the product, which carries a best-before date of December 26, 2009 . According to the sole agent, the canned pork was imported on only two occasions &#8211; last December and January this year. The scare spread when Singapore &#8216;s Agri -Food and Veterinary Authority detected carcinogenic traces in a consignment of canned pork from Ma Ling and Gulong food processing factories.<br />These brands have been banned from entering Singapore since August 2007 for containing nitrofurans( an antibiotic for pigs).</p>
