In the Demeter's Hold

Speaking of China, I found a fascinating list on the FDA's site of "refusal actions" detailing what was actually found during its infrequent searches of incoming ships.

"SALTED BEAN CURD CUBES IN BRINE WITH CHILI"
Rejected: The article appears to consist in whole or in part of a filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance or be otherwise unfit for food.

"FROZEN CHANNEL CATFISH"
Reason: SALMONELLA. The article appears to contain Salmonella, a poisonous and deleterious substance which may render it injurious to health.
