EARLIER THIS WEEK IT WAS TIRES.  Now it’s seafood.  In the latest move against Chinese imports, the Food and Drug Administration yesterday effectively blocked the sale of five types of farm-raised seafood from China because of repeated instances of contamination from unapproved animal drugs and food additives.  The seafood named in the F.D.A.’s “import alert” are shrimp; catfish; eel; basa, which are similar to catfish; and dace, similar to carp.

This comes after THIS REPORT earlier this month that told of Chinese fish farms using water contaminated with raw sewage, and then compensating by covering the fish with pesticides and dangerous drugs.
