    Bonus Rat Head Found in Korean Shrimp Chips

    I probably wouldn’t find this all that newsworthy if not for the fact that I have some in my cupboard right now.

    The nation’s largest snack maker, Nongshim, made a public apology Tuesday for one of its best-selling items containing the head of a small rodent. The company shut down the snack production line, and supermarkets are already removing them from their shelves.

    The apology came after gray skin-like material, 1.6 centimeters in length, was found last month inside a jumbo-sized Nongshim snack, “Saewookkang” (shrimp snack). The Food and Drug Administration on Monday issued a correctional order to the snack manufacturer.

    Oddly, the woman who found the head was denied a refund when she initially called Nongshim. Then the company took the natural next step — they blamed China.


    The company explained that a factory in China makes the dough and sends it to a factory in Busan to fry, pack and distribute it. “I doubt the frying process in Busan is unhygienic, but we are looking into the possibility of the material being added during the dough process at our factory in China,” a Nongshim spokesman said during the public apology.

    I will now go dispose of said rat head shrimp chips.

    Blame everything on China don't they?

    Lead in toys: China
    Dodgy mechanics: China
    Dodgy food: China

    Companies should start taking responsibilities for themselves!

    gross...and my mom likes to eat the shrimp chips!!...argh!!!...i dont think it really matters if the incident happened in china, it is still the companies responsibility..they should ve hired inspectors or have some professionals to inspect them before they even process it..
