A vendor in China was caught selling black mud as grounded black pepper in US and flour as white pepper. Since China has lax food safety laws, vendors take advantage of a lax system and exploit it to the max. Such things when exported to other nations like US mean that people will eat them and get sick and that is something no one wants. So check yourself before buying imported stuff.
