Formaldehyde in Cabbage



Formaldehyde - the chemical used for embalming - is being used to keep cabbages fresh in Quingzhou, a city in the Shandong province of China. 

The chemical is sprayed on the vegetable while in transit to keep them from rotting while in transit because the farmers cannot afford to buy refrigeration equipment.
