Corn
In China, sodium cyclamate is injected into maize to boost sweetness while keeping the golden color. This chemical has been linked to liver damage and other major health issues. It is prohibited in the United States, but it is legal in over 170 countries worldwide.
Green Peas/Soybeans
In China, green peas and soybeans are commonly just snow peas coated with toxic sodium metabisulfite and food coloring. Food inspectors discovered thousands of cans of bogus, artificially colored peas during an inspection in 2005.
