Fake Viagras from China

It seems that we haven't got the last bits of news about fake and unsafe food and medicines from China. Its been reported today that Chinese police have seized more than 18,000 fake Viagra pills in a raid conducted in the Zheijang province.

Aside from the ersatz blue pills, the police also confiscated bootleg bird flu, impotence and malaria drugs from counterfeiters.

The fake drugs are being sold in 18 countries, including the United States and the Netherlands.

Chinese Food Products Banned in the Philippines

The Philippine Bureau of Food and Drugs Administration has banned the sale of several Chinese-made food stuff - including White Rabbit Cream Candy, Bairong grape biscuits and Yong Kang Foods Grape Biscuit - after the foodstuff were found to contain traces of formaldehyde, the chemical use for embalming.

The government agency has advised the public from consuming the aforementioned products until further notice. This incident followed the rash of scandals that plagued China's food exports, many of which were found to contain harmful substances.

On a personal note, this is quite disappointing, as I love the candy since my childhood days.
