No, it has been blown out of proportion, Western countries have the same problems.
33.3%
Yes, but it is understandable, price-squeezed manufacturers have to compromise quality to stay alive.
59.2%
Price is not the issue. People will reject Chinese products if they fear that these are unsafe.

To prevent accumulation of trace minerals (such as Copper, Calcium and Zinc) in the environment (coming from animal manure), ...
 46.9%
Yes, the safety margins for minerals in diets are way too high. We can easily go lower without losing animal performance and health.

No, for some animal species we still don't know how low we can go (before the animal gets a deficiency of a certain mineral). So, more research should be carried out before we can adjust the inclusion rates at commercial farms.
