It seems like the "bad" just isn't going away for them with respect to food. First there was the pet food scare, then a ban on ingredients from China by two major food producers in the US, and now a banana-tastrophe.Apparently, a rumor that bananas from Hainan are harboring a virus similar to the SARS virus has been spreading via text messages.
