What you are asking for is increased regulation and this runs counter to the ethos of your "free country".

If you are for free markets and free trade... then you will have to take these negative aspects. Your nation will have to adapt. It will have to change.
Not to put words in pan's mouth but it sure would help if there was enough information to make a global decision. If I don't know a product contains stuff from a country I don't want to globalize with if I don't have enough information to make my decision.

I will do my utmost best to avoid any products containing Chinese food ingredients. I also refuse to shop at Wal-Mart because they are one of the reasons behind cheapness in the way they do business to force the hand of companies that want to be in their stores. Wal-Mart killed Levis.
