Toxic Imports

Are Australians safe when buying food and other products manufactured overseas? China and other developing nations are increasingly being relied upon as Australia's main suppliers of food, toys and manufactured goods. But this year, imports have been put under the spotlight following the melamine milk scandal in China, which resulted in the deaths of four babies and made 50,000 children ill. So what are the regulations governing our imported foods and products? Who is responsible, and which products are being checked and tested at the border?
