Chinese authorities are investigating reports that formaldehyde has been used to preserve cabbages intended for human consumption.1 Officials in northeastern Hebei Province confirmed the authenticity of a video circulating online, which showed individuals immersing cabbages in a chemical solution before loading them for transport.1 Police have taken legal action against those involved in the incident, while authorities have launched spot checks across national markets and are tracing the source of affected vegetables.1

The discovery has drawn significant scrutiny given China's dominant position in global cabbage production, accounting for nearly half of worldwide output with annual production exceeding 30 million tons.1 Using formaldehyde to preserve food for human consumption is strictly prohibited in China.1 Local authorities in Kangbao County stated that "any illegal or non-compliant practices discovered will be handled strictly according to law to ensure the safety of vegetable supplies."1 The Beijing Xinfadi Market, a major produce hub, announced that it had investigated the source of the cabbages and confirmed that affected vegetables had not entered its market.1 The People's Daily newspaper criticized the practice editorially, stating that "wholesalers only care about immediate economic interests, completely disregarding consumers' lives and health, crossing the legal red line and breaching the moral bottom line."1
