Attention Vegetarians: Police Seize Tofu Treated with Chemicals
Reminder: In Cambodia, even "healthy" food is not always safe for consumption, including tofu, fish sauce, and vegetables.
Cambodia News(Phnom Penh): On 1 December 2021, the General Consumer Protection, Competition and Anti-Fraud Department announced that investigating officers of the Department in Phnom Penh and Kandal Province, carried out inspections on dried beancurd or tofu, fish sauce, soy sauce, vinegar and salt processing manufacturers located in Phnom Penh and Kandal province.
The purpose of the inspection is to find out the presence of banned chemicals in the product and the manufacturers' compliance with technical conditions to ensure the health and safety of the general public. Based on inspections conducted, 2 out of 3 manufacturers in Kandal province were fined for processing dried tofu using banned chemicals, and the products were confiscated by the authorities.
Meanwhile, in Phnom Penh, 180 bottles of fish sauce (equivalent to 27 kilograms) were confiscated and stored for destruction, and the distribution of 12 tons and 400 kilograms of salt was suspended. The entrepreneurs found non-compliant were required to present themselves at the Department in Phnom Penh to give explanations.

Re: Attention Vegetarians: Police Seize Tofu Treated with Chemicals
Uh oh - what do they use?
Dried beef is one of the staples on remote trips for this old hippy
I don't buy the farmer's dead old cow dried by the side of the road, for obvious reasons. I buy that high end stuff at Psar Thmei (for about the same price).
It looks great but maybe it is more "industrially" processed.
