Panga has been available in European supermarkets for a couple of years now. Yes, it's cheap, I used it several times.
In fact, what they say in the link about the farming could be applied to many other food products that we normally buy and consume. It's only, when it comes from Asia and is cheaper than local products, it gets a closer look and a lot of criticism, whether it's Vietnamese panga or Chinese toys.
The truth is though, that we had all our allergies, diabetes, new forms of cancer, and resistent bacteria long before those products from Asia reached our market. We do it to ourselves, not the Chinese and Vietnamese. They copy us.
I've been also worried after having seen a tv documentary about farming of Norwegian salmon.
Oh and Meltique is an Australian product. Normal beef is taken and injected with fat to make it look like Wagyu. yuck.
#11, it's sale has been banned in several countries, the health worry about it is that it is farmed in unhealthy waters, and it is fed food stuffs that echo the some of concerns that were voiced during and after the 'Mad Cow' scare. Any thing that has any heath concerns at all that are farmed, or produced useing methods we humans dabble in useing non-traditional ways, untill we know more, i would be inclinded not to use them.
