Scott urges investigation into Chinese garlic, cites human waste and forced labor concerns

Senator Rick Scott has called for an investigation into the importation of garlic from China, citing concerns over the use of human waste in its cultivation and the potential involvement of forced labor. In a letter to the Department of Commerce, Scott highlighted that Chinese garlic is often grown in heavily polluted areas using raw human sewage as fertilizer, which poses significant health risks. Additionally, he raised alarms about the possibility that this garlic could be produced with forced labor, particularly from regions like Xinjiang, where there have been reports of human rights abuses. Scott's concerns are part of a broader push to scrutinize and possibly restrict imports from China due to ethical, health, and national security issues.
