Made in China

China's manufacturing and export industry has been taking a beaten, as they should, over unsafe products. As bad as the export problem is, it's even worse inside China.

...Chinese authorities released a survey taken earlier this year that showed that less than 1 percent of food sold for export—and 20 percent of the products made for the domestic market—was substandard or tainted. (Newsweek)

So call that a bit of perspective amidst the fear mongering, though you should still remain vigilant. My concern right now is for the athletes descending on Beijing in 2008 for the Olympics. They will be in the thick of the tainted goods.

If you are still unsure of the extent of Chinese recalls, consider this:

Of course you could try and avoid Chinese made products, but it's going to be difficult. A one-week attempt to avoid products from [China] meets with little success.
