#4,

Unless the snacks are made in China, not simply made from Chinese ingredients as Nongshim claims.

There is something fishy about all this rat business. Or do I smell a rat?

Hey, I’ve got a package of that in the freezer! I’ll have to check for extra protein . . . Any reason why they aren’t naming our favorite wholesale members-only imported food store? Probably a good thing, I guess.

And coming on the heels of the Nongshim case, this sounds a little too copycat.

Nongshim claims that the rat’s head got into the batter at the Chinese facility. However, this is highly unlikely as I explained in my post about the subject. Crunchy little shaped snacks like shrimp chips are made with extrusion machines that pop the batter out into shapes. It is extremely unlikely that the rat’s head, larger and shaped differently, could have come through one of those little holes. Moreover, there was no batter stuck to the head.

Now all they need is to find a baby’s finger jammed into the usb drive of a SONY laptop import and the nationalism-scapegoat triumvirate will be complete!

Mmm, just a week after a Korean manufacturer had to recall its own product? How convenient.
