Taro
In fact, $ 2.3 million worth of dasheen, a form of taro, was exported to the US in 2014, according to the US Department of Agriculture. Problems: A taro will turn slightly yellow or black within an hour after peeling, but some taros remain white for a long time in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang County. According to a report from Zhejiang Online, a news source in the area, some shopkeepers added dangerous amounts of sulfur dioxide to peeled taro and potatoes to lighten them and preserve them for long periods of time.

Corn
It is known that the United States imported 4.1 million pounds of frozen sweet corn from China in 2009, according to the US Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service. The problem with it is that some vegetable producers in China add sodium cyclamate, an artificial sweetener that has been banned by the FDA, to their corn. With this food additive, no matter how long customers cook it, the corn keeps its bright yellow color and tastes especially sweet, a major Chinese news broadcaster stated in Jilin Province. If eaten in large quantities, it can damage the liver.
