"If you are a seafood lover and wish that you could eat more fish raised on pig feces (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-11/asian-seafood-raised-on-pig-feces-approved-for-u-s-consumers.html), your dreams are coming true. Due to fierce competition in the Chinese tilapia industry, farmers are increasingly switching to feces instead of commercial feed. From the article: "At Chen Qiang’s tilapia farm in Yangjiang city in China’s Guangdong province, which borders Hong Kong, Chen feeds fish partly with feces from hundreds of pigs and geese. That practice is dangerous for American consumers, says Michael Doyle, director of the University of Georgia’s Center for Food Safety. 'The manure the Chinese use to feed fish is frequently contaminated with microbes like salmonella,' says Doyle, who has studied foodborne diseases in China."

Every shipment of imported food has to be registered with the FDA (http://www.fda.gov/food/guidancecomplianceregulatoryinformation/priornoticeofimportedfoods/default.htm).

But looks like the FDA can't possibly check all of these shipments (2.7% per the article).

My point is you won't see any "non-compliant with US health regulations" on any package. Most of these stuff gets repackaged here and sold.

For-Profit Inspectors Approve Food That Sickens Millions Of Americans A Year (http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/10/11/993311/for-profit-inspectors-approve-food-that-sickens-millions-of-americans-a-year/)

The Food and Drug Administration inspected just 6 percent (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-11/food-sickens-millions-as-industry-paid-inspectors-find-it-safe.html) of the nation’s food producers in 2011, and it has no rules governing third-party inspectors or how often producers should be inspected, according to Bloomberg News. For-profit inspection services often examine “only those areas their clients ask them to review,” and as a result, they often miss sickening and potentially deadly pathogens that infect food that will hit supermarket shelves:


What for-hire auditors do is cloaked in secrecy; they don’t have to make their findings public. Bloomberg Markets obtained four audit reports and three audit certificates through court cases, congressional investigations and company websites.

Six audits gave sterling marks to the cantaloupe farm, an egg producer, a peanut processor and a ground-turkey plant — either before or right after they supplied toxic food.
Collectively, these growers and processors were responsible for tainted food that sickened 2,936 people and killed 43 in 50 states.

The GOP has fought efforts to fully fund an overhaul of the nation’s food safety laws, signed by Obama in 2011, cutting funding to the FDA, USDA, and other programs even as food safety outbreaks hit meat (http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/07/23/565091/salmonella-outbreak-food-safety-cuts/), poultry, and produce (http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/09/28/331177/tainted-cantaloupe-republican-gut-food-safety/) industries across the country. Foodborne illness rates are on the rise (http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/07/30/607161/gop-food-safety-data/), according to the CDC, but Republicans cut $700 million (http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/08/30/773881/tainted-mangoes-food-safety/) from Obama’s requested FDA budget, which included funding for the Food Safety Modernization Act. The House GOP’s farm bill, which never passed, also included cuts (http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/07/16/519461/house-farm-bill-guts-food-safety/) to food safety.

More than 3,000 Americans died last year from contaminated food. More than 48 million Americans were sickened as a result of foodborne illnesses—more than twelve percent on the nation became sick as a result of something they ate. Those numbers rose by 10 percent between 2006 and 2010. To date, there have been more than 30 FDA recalls so far this year (including pet food).

As Meningitis Outbreak Spreads, FDA Implores Congress To Strengthen Safety Regulations (http://thinkprogress.org/health/2012/10/12/1002091/meningitis-outbreak-spreads/)
Since the thousands of U.S. pharmacies across the country that practice compounding — an attempt to keep down prescription costs by recombining medications and repackaging them for sale — do not technically count as drug manufacturers, the FDA currently has no authority (http://thinkprogress.org/health/2012/10/09/974601/meningitis-strengthened-fda-regulations/) to oversee them to ensure that their compounded drugs meet the agency’s safety guidelines. On a call with reporters, FDA officials said (http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-10-11/steroid-shot-linked-to-meningitis-given-to-14-000-in-u-dot-s-dot) they expect lawmakers to recognize the need for additional regulations that will empower the agency to oversee this often-overlooked area of the pharmaceutical industry:

The outbreak resulted from contaminated vials traced to a compounding pharmacy in Framingham, Massachusetts that mixed the drug and sold it to 75 hospitals and pain clinics in 23 states. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration will work with Congress to create new regulations allowing the agency to better oversee the actions of such pharmacies in the future, said Deborah Autor, a deputy commissioner at the agency.


“We want to sit down with pharmacists and lawmakers and think about a scheme that recognizes that the industry and practice of pharmacy have evolved over time, and put in place a risk-based scheme,” said Autor, of the FDA’s global regulatory operations and policy unit, on the call. [...]


The outbreak highlights the need to ensure product safety, [Todd Weber, who is overseeing the federal probe for the Centers for Disease Control] said on the conference call. “We want patients to be confident that they’re not going to get a potentially devastating disease as a result of their care,” he said.

http://thinkprogress.org/health/2012/10/12/1002091/meningitis-outbreak-spreads/

My bet is that Repugs will block any funding and regulations that would increase citizen safety for we-sell-pure-shit BigFood, BigAg, BigPharma, saying "we don't it and it would raise prices for The American People"! (and reduce profits for corporate America). iow, Repugs would rather have dead, diseased, maimed American People rather than touch corporate profits.

What's amusing is how we pretend US companies don't do the same things. I am all for keeping our business here, we can raise our own tilapia and we can inspect those growers, however the growers would likely get their products from China.

I have a friend who manufacturers broadheads for arrows. He started off with a higher price than his competitors and his reason was that all of his parts were made in the US, that he would not sacrifice quality for profit. Now he gets his parts from China because he could not stay in business as other companies would reverse engineer his inventions and have them made in China and sold in the US for half his price.

We should tariff the fuck out of Chinese imports.

Dude if you don't believe me, google is your friend. Salmonella is really common and can be on anything. The last big outbreak in the US was from freaking cantaloupes.

Leave it to the fucking dumbass to still not get it.

Of course some of the shit has salmonella in it. However, it does not contaminate the fish meat when the fish eats it. The salmonella stays in the digestive tract and is theoretically disposed of when the fish is gutted, cleaned, and processed.

Now if they wash the fish in the same shit contaminated water then NOW the salmonella can be on the surface of the meat where it could be dangerous if the fish is undercooked.

As I stated in my original post, if you want to worry about Chinese tilapia, worry about the polluted water they are grown in.

A lot of THAT stuff (like mercury and other heavy metals) can find it's way into the meat.

I don't pretend to be a microbiologist, princess. You will have to excuse me to not take CosmicFarmboy at his recollection.

Cornell OTOH:


How is it spread?

Most times salmonella bacteria's "route of entry" into a "host ( human or animal)" is "oral", i.e., the host ingests salmonella bacteria directly ("fecal-oral") or indirectly ("fecal-fomite/food-oral"). For example it is possible to come into direct contact with manure if dirty hands are used to wipe your face/mouth/eyes, when smoking, or even to get splashed with manure in the face from a cow's tail. It is also possible to indirectly come into oral contact with Salmonella on a fomite (inanimate object) that has been contaminated with salmonella bacteria, such as a soiled cigarette, a cup, a pen placed into the mouth, and especially when eating food or drinking fluids contaminated with fecal matter. For a cow, most often they ingest salmonellae in their water or feed, or they come into oral contact with the barn environment (various surfaces, freestall floor, etc.).

Conditions under which salmonella survive in the environment?

Salmonella bacteria love wet environments shielded from the sun. They have the remarkable ability to survive under adverse conditions. They survive between the pH's of 4 to 8+, and can grow between 8 and 45 C. Salmonella are facultative anaerobic bacteria that can survive under low oxygen tension such as in manure slurry pits. Salmonella are known to survive for long periods in soil and in water. Salmonellae spread onto fields in the form of manure may survive for long periods; it is best to spread the manure onto flat land (to prevent runoff problems) where it is exposed to the drying effects of wind, and to the bactericidal effect of UV irradiation from the sun; manure should be spread onto cropland rather than onto pastures for grazing. There has been much recent investigation into the advantages of different manure disposal methods; composting has many advantages from the standpoint of controlling disease. Salmonellae are no more or less sensitive to the effects of commonly used disinfectants than are other fecal bacteria. Chlorine solutions, iodines, quaternary ammoniums, phenolics, etc., are very good at killing salmonellae on surfaces; however, efficient scraping/dry cleaning is important to get rid of organic matter and bedding, followed by wet cleaning with high pressure hot water/steam and then disinfection. The interval between wet cleaning and disinfection must not be too long or salmonellae can "bloom" in the wet environment. Many strains are relatively resistant to the effects of drying, salting, and smoking of foods. However, salmonellae are very sensitive to beta and gamma irradiation.

You are a fucking idiot with zero reading comprehension. The salmonella is only in the digestive tract of the animal. The guts are removed from the animal (chicken, turkey, duck, cow, pig, etc.) before it is processed. The meat is not contaminated with salmonella.


Salmonella poisoning from meat normally comes from cross contamination in processing between the guts and the meat as a result of unsanitary processing + conditions which allow the salmonella to reproduce to dangerous levels.

it's pretty obvious that what he is saying is "its not my animals its the food packagers who are to blame if someone gets sick."

It's my understanding that this is generally the case when an outbreak occurs. It's generally on the packagers and slaughterhouses.

Not a problem really. It's easy to kill. About 30 minutes at 131 (minimum temp to kill salmonella) or 12 minutes at 145. thats why when I do medium rare steaks I sous vide them at 131 for about 90 minutes and then flash sear them over mesquite.

That practice is dangerous for American consumers, says Michael Doyle, director of the University of Georgia’s Center for Food Safety.
“The manure the Chinese use to feed fish is frequently contaminated with microbes like salmonella,” says Doyle, who has studied foodborne diseases in China.

You had just gotten through telling me about the milk and consuming it. Do they shit milk too? it's not restricted to the intestinal tract.

Now let's include quotes from the paper to demonstrate my point.


Pharmacodynamic properties – tissue penetration, intracellular effect
Will antibiotics make a difference? In adult cattle, antibiotics may improve recovery and lessen the severity of the disease but will likely extend the duration of shedding. Calves and young stock are expecially prone to becoming bacteremic, but subtherapeutic use of antibiotics in the milk replacer may actually make the disease worse.
Disseminated, invasive or systemic disease (how do you tell?)
Severe clinical signs of endotoxemia : fever, tachycardia, tachypnea, scleral injection, weakness, ruminal stasis, leukopenia (early), and leukocytosis (later), frequently with a left shift

Death in some animals

Pneumonia, polyarthritis Post mortem findings are not restricted to dilation, edema and hemorrhage of the bowel and mesenteric lymph node enlargement. There may be enlargement of the spleen, renal infarcts and gallbladder inflammation. Ecchymotic hemorrhages throughout the carcass and pneumonia may also be present
Antibiotics are not likely to affect the carrier state.

Of course it starts there because you eat it. OTOH when it blooms it doesn't just stay there. You are familiar at least in a general sense with how the intestines operate. It's a semipermeable membrane. You have a serious infection and some of it gets through.

That's why in the paper it tells to clean the feces, SALIVA, BLOOD, AND MILK.

Now perhaps with you there is a direct line from your shitter to your mouth but the pathogen gets into the blood, saliva, and milk at the very least. Fish are not going to have the same controllability either. If you farm up a few thousand how are you going to tell the ones that are salmonella ridden with any thoroughness?

Tilapia are nasty fish. They are used to clean ponds and keep scum from forming around power plant intakes (as well as hydrilla and other aquatic, invasive species that could clog cooling intakes). They taste good, but they consume just about anything. In comparison, crappie will not eat pig shit. They will fuck up the minnows that will however so the problem moves along.

Because you cannot just take any fish and make sushi out of it. Even the cheaper places that buy the frozen products to kill the parasites need to buy fish that was raised in clean conditions, because freezing doesn't kill the bacteria.

If the fish raised in these conditions were sold as sashimi quality, that would probably be illegal.

Good lord. Most sashimi grade (not sushi grade) fish is caught in the wild. It's not how it's raised because no one knows, but it's how it's caught, killed and handled afterward. It has to do with avoiding trauma to the fish that causes the fish to release chemicals that changes the taste of the meat. It's how the fish it brought aboard. It's how the fish is graded at the dock. There are many factors but eventually it's how it tastes.

Again, there are little to no freshwater fish being harvested for sashimi, certainly not Tilapia and I sure as hell wouldn't eat it.

Stop equivocating sushi with sashimi. One is a roll of rice and veggies with a hint of fish (commonly, other than nigiri) and the other is slices of basically raw fish on a plate.

You're likely wrong. They do sell fish they call sashimi grade Tilapia and it's nasty as fuck but not because of how it's being fed. Talipia is a very mushy fish, about like eating a herring or mackerel but not as clean (mackerel is actually decent sashimi).

My concern is with fish that potentially includes things such as salmonella with it. These are farmed fish. It's not like their diet cannot be controlled.

But thanks for confirming you can't really tell them apart.
I don't know if it's a labeling standard or not, but I do see labeling on fish packages that says if it was farmed or wild. I never buy the farmed fish the times I buy it.

In the case of plutonium, just enough to block the alpha emissions.

I did some quick poking around with searches. There would be ways of hiding it from X-Ray and gamma detectors. I haw a mention of neutron detectors, but I just don't see 100% scanning being feasible. As you know, plutonium can be in a liquified form. I assume this is a chemical formulation of the plutonium, but for all I know, it may be a suspended colloid. What if this was used in place of oil someplace. Engine oil pan, hydraulic fluid, etc. Sure, a completed bomb could easily be found, but what about components?

Maybe I'm just asking for too much?

I will probably never believe that equipment can take the place of a physical inspection. You've heard the common saying I bet that when you think something is made idiot-proof, a better idiot is found. Same thing with technology. Criminals have a way of getting around the latest and greatest, sometimes easier, because too much faith is put on it.

I must revise something though. A person would unlikely find replaced oil also.

You drop these little innuendos and then you abandon them when someone corners you on them. Ever thought of just not trying to have others make connections that aren't even remotely true based on your name and experience dropping bullshit?

Klebosol CMP slurry (http://www.azem.com/en/Products/Silicon-technology/Klebosol%20CMP%20slurry.aspx)

Klebosol is a leading brand of multipurpose colloidal silica, with applications in a diverse array of industries ranging from beverage to electronics. The Klebosol range of colloidal silica products are stable suspensions of independent (non-agglomerated), non-porous and spherical particles of silica (SiO2).

One of the most famous neutron detectors is the Bonner sphere spectrometer (BSS). In its original form it consisted of a 4 mm x 4 mm high 'LiI(Eu) crystal which could be positioned at the center of five polyethylene spherical moderators 2 to 12 inches in diameter.

So it took a process engineer to tell you that slurry was a colloid and you were so impressed with that you now use it as if it's esoteric, inside information.

Isn't the truth more along the lines of the following scenario?:

You see a topic. Feeling insecure because you know nothing about it you do an internet search. Instead of posting what you find and giving a link, and asking questions in a respectful manner, you make lecturing statements using a bastardized version of what you read, and because you lack experience or understanding of the subject matter, you make neophyte mistakes in your posts and cry victim when someone points them out to you. You don't want to be in the discussion, you want to be seen as an authority on things, to be some sort of a savant, but you aren't polished enough in your rewording to fool anyone.

Cry victim all you like, no one here is asking for your opinion on these things.

If you include participating ports worldwide, then yes. You see, as part of the bill, Homeland Security has the power to delay implementation of the bills provisions until which time they see fit to implement them. I think the final date for full implementation is in 2014. They are balking based on cost effectiveness and such.

Why Is the FDA Inspecting So Little Imported Seafood?

we import about 86 percent of the seafood we consume, about half of which comes from from aquaculture.

There's also the threat of residues from the chemicals farm operators use to control those pathogens.

many of the antibiotics in use on Asia's fish farms are banned for use in the US for public-health reasons.

The agency is certainly aware of the problem. Testifying before Congress in 2008, then FDA deputy director of food safety Don Kraemer put it like this (http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Testimony/ucm115243.htm):

As the aquaculture industry continues to grow, concern about the use of unapproved drugs and unsafe chemicals in aquaculture operations has increased significantly. There is clear scientific evidence that the use of unapproved antibiotics and other drugs and chemicals, such as malachite green, nitrofurans, fluoroquinolones, and gentian violet, can result in the presence of residues in the edible portions of aquacultured seafood.


the FDA only inspects about 2.7 percent of imported food, BusinessWeek reports.

When the agency does test, it does find. For example, in 2008, GAO found, the FDA tested only 34 shrimp samples for residues of nitrofurans—a chemical not approved in the US for aquaculture and one specifically singled out in Kraemer's FDA testimony for its ability to cause cancer. Six of the samples tested positive. "Because of FDA’s limited sampling, some of the more than 2.5 million metric tons of shrimp and 156,000 metric tons of catfish imports that entered the United States during fiscal years 2006 through 2009 could have contained residues of nitrofurans,"

"It's a resource question but it's also a political will question, because when you look harder, you will find stuff,"

a quarter of the food-borne illness outbreaks caused by imported food from 2005 to 2010 involved seafood—more than any other food commodity.

30 samples of imported farmed shrimp from across the country and had them tested for antibiotic traces. The result: three of the samples contained detectable levels of antibiotics. And not just any antibiotics, either:


Three different banned drugs were found in the shrimp: enrofloxacin, an antibiotic not allowed in animals that Americans eat because it damages the immune system; chloramphenicol, suspected to cause cancer in humans; and confirmed carcinogen nitrofuranzone, which was outlawed in the US 40 years ago.

Why isn't there "political will" (which of course in practice requires funded, enforced regulations, which the Repugs fundamentally detest)?

Because US companies make $Bs buying imported seafood and use some of those $Bs to corrupt Congress and regulators.

Sacred corporate profits ALWAYS trump Human-Americans' health and best interests.

Today's Seafood Special: Pig Manure, Antibiotics, and Diarrhea Bugs
According to arecent study (http://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2012/p0314_foodborne.html) by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 44 percent of the 39 foodborne-illness outbreaks caused by imports from 2005 to 2010 involved seafood—more than any other type of food.

In a 2012 study (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22405354), FDA scientists tested 330 samples of shrimp farmed in Thailand—the No. 1 US shrimp supplier—and bought in Little Rock, Arkansas, supermarkets. Sixty-seven turned up positive for strains of the bacteria klebsiella that are resistant to a range of antibiotics—32 of them showed resistance to no fewer than eight different antibiotics. The researchers concluded that "imported shrimp is a reservoir for multidrug-resistant Klebsiella," which can trigger urinary-tract infections and pneumonia.

Don Kraemer, then-deputy director of the FDA's Office of Food Safety, warned of "clear scientific evidence" that drug residues make it into the fish we eat. In 2011, the FDA tested just 0.1 percent of imported seafood products for drug traces. In 2008, the agency tested only 34 shrimp samples (http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-11-286) for residues of nitrofurans—a class of antibiotics banned because they're carcinogenic. Six samples tested positive.

Soc Trang Seafood Joint Stock Company (which, incidentally, is BAP-certified (http://www.aquaculturecertification.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=123)), had three different shipments turned back by Japan in 2012 due to the presence of banned chemicals—but the United States routinely welcomed its products.

compromised, corrupt FDA, protecting/increasing corporate profits no matter what the cost.

Every shipment of imported food has to be registered with the FDA (http://www.fda.gov/food/guidancecomplianceregulatoryinformation/priornoticeofimportedfoods/default.htm).:lol

"farm raised seafood swim in their own shit"

not only their own shit, but in chemicals, anti-biotics, anti-fungals, etc, etc, just like any industrial food factory turning out pathogenic food-like substances.

Americans/anybody feeding their cats fish significantly contributes to the collapse world-wide of fish stocks. (and you Carbon Loving shills bitch about wind turbines killing birds while ignoring that domestic/feral cats kill several 100Ms of birds every year)
