China-Contaminated pork.

CHINA-CONTMINATED PORK.

" At least 70 people in China fell ill after eating pig organs contaminated with an illegal weight-loss drug, state press reported Monday, the latest scare for the nation’s chaotic food industry. All the people suffered from stomach pains and diarrhea after eating the tainted pork in southern China’s Guangdong province over the past few days, with three victims still in hospital, the China Daily said. Investigations showed the suspect pork bought from local markets was contaminated with clenbuterol, a drug often given to people to treat asthma but also commonly used to cut body fat.
