Although the Chinese regime has banned the trade, a group of dealers are purchasing human placenta from hospitals, medical waste treatment plants, and even funeral houses secretly to sell them to consumers as food, or processing workshops as medicine, without any virus or bacteria test.
The placenta is the organ in the uterus of pregnant mammals. It nourishes and maintains the fetus through the umbilical cord. Some Chinese people believe the placenta is nutritious and eat fresh placentas after cooking them.
