Rotten Potatoes for Lead Paint

China’s quarantine bureau destroyed 21 tons of “sub-standard” frozen potato slices on a recent shipment of goods from the U.S., apparently for failing certain quality issues including acidity levels.

It can’t be retaliation for the all of the recent lead paint scandals…or can it?

Via Times of India.com:

China is increasingly publicising instances in which it detects quality problems with imports from the US, in apparent response to US complaints about sub-standard Chinese exports of food, fish, tyres and toys.

Earlier this month, the quarantine bureau warned the US about exporting contaminated soybeans, singling out a substandard cargo that had arrived in February.
