Chinese added
Viagra in thousands of bottles of alcohol and told customers it had
"Health-Preserving Qualities." From tainted milk scandal in 2008
to 100,000 tonnes of smuggled meat in June, some of which was more than 40
years old, now they have Viagra added into alcoholic drinks! Authorities in
southern city of Liuzhou seized more than 5,300 bottles of alcohol that had
been packaged after the powdered Viagra was added to the alcohol content.
The
authorities also found packets of a white powder called Sildenafil, better
known as the anti-impotence drug Viagra. The Liuzhou Food and Drug
Administration said that the powder was added to three different types of
'baijiu' - a strong, clear spirit that is the most popular drink in China and
that it was worth up to 700,000 yuan (£72,000; $113,000). Doctors recommend
that adults requiring prescription should take only one dose of Viagra a day,
with a lower dose for those over the age of 65.
China continues to face
widespread food safety problems. In June, police in cities across China seized
more than 100,000 tonnes of smuggled meat, some of which was more than 40 years
old. The 2008 tainted milk scandal outraged the nation. Some 300,000 people
were affected and at least six babies died after consuming milk adulterated
with melamine.
