I'll suggest that many nations do not have the high standards of purity
that the US and Canada do, no matter how low our standards may be.  The
idea that any country would allow rat poison and plastic pellets (I think
they were pellets) to adulterate their foodstuffs is repugnant, even if it
were ony for their own consumption.

Yes, I know that there are allowable limits of rat droppings in some US
foodstuffs, still, we aren't killing humans and animals with it..
