U.S. Senator Rick Scott recently claimed that Chinese garlic poses a significant *** risk. He pointed out that there are sanitary problems with the production methods of garlic in China, which pose a serious threat to the United States and economic prosperity. Senators called on the U.S. Department of Commerce to launch an investigation and test different types of garlic.
Senator Scott's letter mentions that there are serious problems with the quality of garlic grown by the Chinese Communist Party, especially in terms of public health. He also cites material from some cooking blogs, family magazines, Youtu** and documentaries that say that Chinese garlic production methods are unhygienic. These include practices such as fertilizing using human manure, growing garlic in sewage, and stripping the roots to increase appeal.
Senator Scott said that since garlic is a food product that is widely used in cooking, its integrity and safety are of paramount importance to the American people. He believes that if food (such as garlic) is not safe, Americans will not be able to defend their national interests, which will pose a serious threat to the public health and economic prosperity of the United States.
In response to Senator Scott's allegations, questions have been raised about the production and hygiene of garlic in China. The Office of Science and Society at McGill University in Quebec points out that the evidence for the use of manure as fertilizer when growing garlic in China is not accurate. The office also noted that in the agricultural sector, both human and animal manure are widely regarded as effective fertilizers.
Chinese farmers follow strict standards and hygiene requirements when growing garlic and other crops. They use legal fertilizers and pesticides and operate in strict accordance with the relevant regulations. In addition, China** has also strengthened food safety supervision to ensure the quality and safety of food products.
Chinese garlic is known all over the world for its unique flavor and high quality. China's garlic exports occupy an important position in the global market. Many countries consider Chinese garlic as a high-quality food and import it from China.
Although Senator Scott's accusations have caused some controversy and discussion, the view that there are serious problems with the production and hygiene of garlic in China is not universally accepted. China's agricultural practices strictly follow hygiene requirements and strengthen food safety supervision. At the same time, Chinese garlic has gained international recognition, and many countries regard it as a high-quality food.
However, this accusation still reminds us of the importance of food safety and agricultural production. Countries** should strengthen regulation and standard-setting to ensure the quality and safety of food. It is very important for consumers to choose the right food products and understand their production process.
In addition, international cooperation also needs to be based on good faith and mutual benefit. For Chinese garlic, it is crucial to continue to improve quality standards and strengthen regulation to meet the needs of domestic and foreign markets.
In summary, Senator Scott's accusations, while somewhat controversial, remind us to remain vigilant when it comes to global food security. At the same time, Chinese garlic, as a widely recognized food, also needs to strengthen its quality management and supervision to ensure the safety and security of consumers.
