TOKYO, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Japanese food companies recalled foods sourced from a factory in China on Wednesday after dumplings contaminated with pesticide sickened 10 people in the latest safety scare involving Chinese products.

The dumplings are distributed by JT Foods under the "JT" and "CO-OP" brand names only in Japan, though the company was unaware if the factory in China exported food to other countries.

A family of five that ate the dumplings was still in hospital, including a five-year-old girl who had at one point been in critical condition, a Health Ministry official said.

China was hit by a series of food safety scares last year, though officials have said they are adopting new technology and tighter laws to try to ensure safe food both at home and in exports.

2. See, folks? The problem with China is NOT US-centric. What they do impacts the world.

Companies can manufacture anything anywhere.

China is not being a good global player.

And while human error and lenience can work for some issues, is the value of human life such an issue?

Regulations are needed, I don't care what the sponsors on FOX news channel claim. Regulations are not evil.
