Apple
Apple farmers from China were found to be wrapping sacks of white chemical powder on apple trees so that insects would directly come into contact with pesticides. In fact, they put so much of the powder, that the workers had to wear face masks and gloves to prevent direct contact with the said chemicals. In case you didn’t know, only 2 out of 10 apples in the local market came from local farms.

Strawberries
In October 2012, over 10,000 people from several cities in Germany suffered from acute diarrhea and vomiting because of the norovirus that was found in the frozen strawberries that were imported from China. China dominates the German market of processed strawberries, having a total share of over 97 percent. Very surprising don’t you think?
