The Latest of China’s food poisoning is tainted pork. So far this contaminated meat has made 70 people sick. Three remain in the hospital. The infected pork contained an illegal drug known as clenbuterol which avoids animals to gain excess fat. This drug is illegal because it can be fatal to humans. Although the drug is illegal, there are people who use it such as athletes in order to build muscle. The case continues, however, three people have been arrested for their possible involvement in the contaminated meat. China’s lack for food safety has also got pork onto the list of contaminations including milk. Correspondents say the reason for the mishap is these small businesses are struggling with prices soaring to the sky. Their tight budget is leading them to take shortcuts.
