China executed a dairy farmer and a milk salesman today for their role in a tainted infant formula scandal in which at least six children died and 300,000 were made ill, state media said.
Nineteen others have been jailed since January in connection with the case, which involved deliberately contaminating milk with melamine, a chemical used in manufacturing plastics and fertilisers. It resulted in product recalls around the world and caused outrage in China, particularly when details of a cover-up emerged.
On February 15, 2023, Business Insider reported that Similac’s manufacturer, Abbott, could face criminal penalties of up to $500,000 for each offense as the Department of Justice probes the factory conditions that led to a nationwide baby food shortage.
Nice try racist, bet you didn’t even know that this happens regularly in the west.
CDC estimates 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die from foodborne diseases each year in the United States. CDC provides estimates for two major groups of foodborne illnesses – known pathogens and unspecified agents.
We estimate that there are 180 deaths per year in the UK (95% CrI 113 to 359) caused by foodborne disease based on these 11 pathogens. While this is a small fraction of the estimated 2.4 million cases of foodborne illness per year it still illustrates the potential severity of these illnesses demonstrating the importance in continuing efforts to reduce these infections.
From 2002 to 2017, China reported 2815 outbreaks caused by foodborne diseases related to meat and meat products, resulting in 52,122 illnesses and 25,361 hospitalizations, and 96 deaths.
Because I consider carceral or capital punishment appropriate for crimes resulting in death? Sorry dronie, corporations include fines in their annual budget that does nothing to change their practices.
Yes, executing a businesses person that chooses to kill children to make more money is the objectively correct outcome. Or would you rather they just get a miniscule fine, tell me how much is a baby worth?
You can’t convince me that food in China is safe, I’ve seen enough videos of people collecting and using gutter oil from sewage and trash bins. Fucking disgusting.
Plus isn’t there a huge protest going on over food safety concerns in school canteens? Didn’t they just find rats in kids meals?
As for data, as far as I’m concerned, every piece of data coming from the CPC is at best inaccurate, at worst an outright lie.
The United States and U.K are developed countries just as Japan, China, and India. Why is my comparison inaccurate? Facts don’t care about your feelings.
Then why even make your initial comment? You are trying to silence someone who is speaking out against racism, you are enabling racism and thus are one as well. You could’ve easily blocked me and moved on but instead chose to carry water for a bigot, I would rather be a principled “idiot” than a coward defending racist “jokes”

Uh, executed?
They caused serious harm but you are bringing out a state execution as an example of appropriate action in regards to an outbreak?
Obligatory not a fan of China but since this seems intentional they have a point. Playing around with children’s lives is no joke.
Tankies tell on themselves constantly

Americans love murdering folks.
How about rehabilitation?
Thanks for luring out a shill OP. Now I’ve added one more to my block list.

Provide proof of your claims, I notice you are .it maybe you should be more concerned with Italian botulism than Chinese food safety.

does daddy know you’re peeking over the wall?
aw the poor little dronie just had his world view questioned, i get paid by the post and you just get riled.
You would need to compare China to Japan or India to make the point you’re trying to make. Comparing to the USA does nothing at all.
