China Bans Antifreeze in Toothpaste
China is cracking down on the use of diethylene glycol, a thickening agent used in antifreeze, in toothpastes. It is part of a series of measures by the Chinese authorities to boost consumer confidence in food and drink safety procedures.
In June 2007 America's FDA found that some Chinese toothpaste imported into the United States contained diethylene glycol.
