Taiwan's decision to reject tonnes of 'toxic' Shanghai hairy crabs triggers concern about Chinese food's ill effects

Taipei: Taiwan’s latest decision to ban imports of crabs from China due to the presence of the hazardous chemical Dioxin has triggered fear about the hazardous effects of food items imported from China.

Dioxin found in these Shanghai Hairy crabs is a cancer-causing chemical, The HK Post reported.

The European Union’s investigations found a majority of the harmful plastic contact material exported to Europe originated from China, which had illegal additives, the news portal reported.

The World Bank has already raised concerns over unsafe food in China that it said added heavily to the global health and economic burden, reports the news portal.

Several nations have earlier also raised concerns over the potential toxicity and dietary risk of eating food and using materials that originated or manufactured in China.
