Tyson and Mission Foods ban ingredients from ChinaPosted May 19th 2007 9:02AM by Sarah J. GimFiled under: Business, Far East, Newspapers, America, Health & MedicalTwo of the largest US food manufacturers have declared that they will not use ingredients from China. This order comes from Mission Foods Corp and Tyson Foods after pet foods made from contaminated wheat products from China killed and sickened cats and dogs in the US. However, the Los Angeles Times asks if this actually a realistic directive, given that China is the world's leading supplier of many food flavorings like vanilla and citric acid, vitamins and preservatives. Last year, China exported $2.5 billion of food ingredients. That's a lot of ingredients that Tyson and Mission will have to find elsewhere.
