| Abstract: |
When Canadians reach for a jar of honey or sizzle bacon to a crisp in the morning, terrorism is likely the last thing on their minds. But according to John Keogh, a supply chain expert who has advised governments and agencies from around the world, the threat of food terrorism is real – and he theorized that could be at play in the Canada-China dispute. Last Wednesday, China unilaterally blocked all imports of Canadian meat following the discovery of ractopamine – an additive that's banned in China – in Canadian pork products. When the Canadian Food Inspection Agency asked to review the pork's export certificate, they found it was inauthentic. The RCMP is now investigating the fraudulent certificate. |
