America's good reputation for tainted consumer goods
If future historians ask which developing economy was the bigger counterfeiter of consumer products - China or the United States - it will not be simple to decide. Product adulteration is neither an overseas monopoly nor a new issue.
Current scandals might lead people to believe that food and product safety regulations were the natural evolution of business and good government. However it took consumer outrage to create needed changes in America in early 20th century,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
A century ago,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], US consumers feared domestic products. They distrusted everything from candy to meat to medicine. Newspapers broke stories daily revealing that even reputable shops sold flatware with less silver content than advertised and walnut furniture made of gum wood. Buyers needed to be wary or they'd be cheated or,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], worse, poisoned.
Product adulteration was already a venerable tradition in the usa at that time. Throughout the Civil War, Union soldiers' shoddy uniforms fell to pieces as well as their shoes disintegrated. They paraded barefoot, and recruits sometimes needed to use flour sacks to hide their bare backsides.
Why was long underwear red,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]? Because red dye wouldn't take well to cotton. Therefore the bright red colorization was proof that long johns were genuine wool,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
By the time Upton Sinclair published his exposé from the meat industry, "The Jungle," in 1906,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the adulteration of meat was old news. During the 1898 Spanish-American war, consumers became sensitized to the issue of "embalmed beef" whenever a general went public about the impurity of Army meat rations. The defense the beef wasn't any not the same as that sold to the public only increased the alarm. Although the charges were never proved that spoiled meats were doctored to ensure they are appear fresh, a skeptical public demanded more government watchdogs.
Any food could be other than what it really seemed. Blackberry brandy, an answer well-liked by invalids, rarely contained even a trace of blackberries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but plenty of coal-tar dye. Candy, too,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was colored with harmful dyes and tainted with ingredients such as paraffin and shellac. Milk, meanwhile,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was preserved with formaldehyde.
Still, Americans prefer to look abroad for culprits. Asians have always been an easy target. When Chinese restaurants emerged in the 1890s, rumors spread that they served cat and rat meat. British tea growers proclaimed towards the US market that their teas were 100 % pure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but that Chinese teas contained foreign matter. Today,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is hard to credit how stigmatized the "Made in Japan" label was previously.
Food adulteration and product counterfeiting is not related to nationality, ethnicity,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as well as supposed backwardness. Economic development actually facilitates adulteration. Although it is as old as the good reputation for trade,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in its modern manifestations it is often the stepchild of science.
Scientific development breeds sophisticated trickery via new preservatives, dyes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and fillers. The conditions that promote adulteration are evident: a rapidly expanding economy and lax government controls,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], coupled with bargain-hungry consumers driving an industry for affordable goods. It can happen anywhere.
