Covid 19 is probably the least of our worries.

City Mayor Huang Wei-che (黃偉哲) promised the land was safe to grow crops.

Did he cross his heart?

Taiwan’s food safety is terrible. So many scandals and who knows how many restaurants are still violating the laws. Also many additives that are banned in other countries are still legally used.
Taiwan is one of the richest countries but the food hygiene is gross. They are cutting and cooking food in the street and washing the dishes on the floor. I found coins inside my food. Stores are filthy, the walls are always dirty while they just can paint it is so easy. And they can just clean the store better at least once a week.
Why the government isn’t doing anything about it?
And why people think is okay?

On the bright side you got free cash…

Every country has its problems but just because it looks clean doesn’t mean it is. Besides have you gotten food poisoning in Taiwan?

Yes unfortunately I did. It was severe and multiple people got it from the same store and it’s still open.
Free cash lmao they even kept the coin for them

So you didn’t sue them?

It was not from the store with the coin.
I wanted but I didn’t have the money and time

Because you eat from your plate/bowl, not from the table or floor.

I can imagine how your toilet looks :slightly_smiling_face:

Soy sauce. The usual issues like mislabeling, higher than allowed quantities of cancer causing ingredients, 3-MCPD carcinogin, etc.

The Chinese are looking ahead:

“Chinese firm Zhenmeat has released plant-based pork and crayfish.”

“Competition is heating up in China’s fake meat industry, as domestic plant-based meat brand Zhenmeat launches two new products aimed at satisfying the appetites of local consumers.
The first is a deep fried fake pork tenderloin and the second is a plant-based crayfish. China is the world’s largest consumer of pork and and one of the biggest of crayfish, and the latest releases from Zhenmeat play to local tastes.”

Gotta love the fresh market meat.

Salmonella can be avoided by properly cooking meat right? 165F I don’t like the storage conditions for cooked food here so I prefer to cook my own. Or I’ll buy food right when the store opens to avoid food that hasn’t been held at the right temp.
With that said, I have a steel stomach. My husband can’t eat the exact same food and is not as lucky as I am.

Well, if you’ve seen people drilling for snot and than touching meat with their hands … just saying. :scream:
