13. Muddy Black Pepper
Pepper just like its counterpart salt, seems to be among the suspicious condiments coming into The United States from China. In an investigation done by The Global Times, they looked into some of the vendors selling imitation black pepper which turned out to be mud and imitation white pepper that turned out to be a mixture of various flours. Although this doesn’t seem as harmful as some of the other items on this list, it is most definitely strange.
As if eating mud isn’t bad enough, some of your favorite vegetables aren’t what you think they are.
