hey ... this story dated back in 2004. i'm not sure if anyone is aware of it; but thought this will be an interesting knowledge; especially soy sauce lovers out there! http://www.danwei.org/internet/soy_sauce_made_from_human_hair.php
I heard a similar case on the news last week or so. Producers of buns in China or HK, forget which were using cardboard and mixing them in with the meat in buns to save money...
a thats nasty.... from time to time ...u hear these kinds of stories from the mainland. food safety is really a issue there. once there was this fake babymilk powder.... hmm..... human hair is nasty...but they could have chosen black paint with soy sauce aroma to fake it...they are really inventive.
