<description><![CDATA[ The modern food industry has developed a lot of techniques to help distribute food efficiently and safely, but sometimes there are a few "bad apples" out there that make it look like the entire food industry is filled with unsavory practices. Here are just a few examples of some food issues that might have hit your plate.
<ul>
<li> <a title="http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2011/08/honey-laundering/" href="http://bit.ly/sSLpXg">There's possibly some "honey laundering" going on in the US -- where tainted honey from China is smuggled into the US market without proper country of origin labels.</a> The yuck factor of this story almost triggers an urban legend skepticism...

<li> <a title="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/23/us/farmers-seek-to-raise-standards-for-berries.html" href="http://nyti.ms/t7r6Xd">Those organic strawberries from California might not be as organic as you think.</a> Apparently, just about all strawberry plants come from plant nurseries that are not "organic" because they use pesticides.

<li> <a title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5tCXIukOM8" href="http://bit.ly/ug2qXi">Watching fish that were over-soaked in sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) as they cook is not very appetizing.</a> Don't watch this video if you like seafood.
