Japan isn't doing much better than China in relation to food safety

I've never understood "food safety" issues, but I lived next to a "Heinz" plant most of my life. I've heard we had similar issues until the "Pure food & Drug" laws early in the 1900's. I guess China's just at that point now. I just can't imagine "adulterating" milk! But then again I probably can't imagine 1.3 billion people either! LOL

does not make me feel safer. what kind of water is used? what kind of fertilizer is used? are they washed? are they mislabeled? japan does not have such a great track record.
