Poisoned Food Threaten People in Japan
7th February 2008
These days, every Japanese TV show reports some of frozen foods sold in a lot of supermarkets in Japan are likelihood of poison. They are imported from China, one of the biggest country of food exporter in the world. The importer, a business company based Tokyo, and the exporter in China is now under investigating why it should happen and who is blamed about this affair. Fortunately, there are no the deceased so far but many poison victims who took the meat dumplings (”Gyo-za”) around Japan. Japanese news says sales of frozen food falls 40% down after 31th Jan, the day of this contamination being surfaced.
We cannot live without products from overseas, especially in Japan, since we do not have enough nature resource and cost to produce them here, so we have to outsource and buy them from foreign countries. While we depend on them, lots of Japan based companies moved thier factories to Asian countries, for example China, Thailand, Indnesia and so on, hire locals with inexpensive salary than Japan, and lecture the method to work. Our country, Japan, was the same in our old days, we could be developing with assistance of foreign countries. Now our position has been changed, developing to developed. We have to teach them not only how to work but also importance of hygiene, sanitation and safe for food production, the reason why so is, no one allowed to threaten the other’s health.
In Best Trading, we have no staff who got having that bad food, we are very fine. I have no idea when and where poison was into the foods, and who…in fact, it’s doubtful of deliberate accident, according to some newspaper. It is uncertain at this moment, however, I am looking for the truth coming out and the time we can eat anything with no worries.
