A food processor in Namyangju has been busted for labeling the beef used in its packaged yukgaejang and galbitang as Korean or Australian when it was really from the United States or New Zealand.
The company produced 4,000 bags of the stuff, 1,000 of which was sold to restaurants in the Gimpo and Goyang areas.

hahahahahahaha!
One found, a thousand slip by…
These people would protest the treatment of seniors, then sell their grandmothers.
Another day in Korea, inc.
Wow, this is a real bolt from the blue. I for one am taken aback by this unexpected blemish on the heretofore whiter-than-white reputation of the Korean food processing industry.
Exactly what the candlelight vigilantes said would happen.
But why New Zealand? What’s wrong with NZ beef?
I was kind of curious about that myself.
Jesus - 999 mad cow infected people…
So when do the protests against the company start? … What?!? They won’t? They got some ’splainin’ to do, Lucy!
It was NZ lamb! with a some additives, plus a dash of mystery meat mixed in and then rebadged!

I saw a YTN report a month or two ago that said imported beef from NZ was chemically tainted with endosulfan.
I think South Koreans have the right to be concerned about the consumption of New Zealand Lamb as everyone knows how such fluffy white livestock are contaminated in the land of the long white cloud as the national hobby is sux wuth shup.
eurgh

Was that a (very poor) attempt at humor?
I was talking New Zealand Sheep, not Middle Eastern Goats.
@The Goat:
Doesn’t take long for our favorite troll, swlee, to out himself with his signature comment style.
Sonagi, just because I was posting here under another name before swlee came along does not make it me.

swlee/hojusoju?! I totally pegged Peter for Devil’s Advocate. Perhaps Satan finally got a clue and fired his @$$.
Furthermore, I thought I was everybody’s favorite troll.
I’ll have to try harder…
I guess I will have to better restrain my fuck ewe kiwi jibes. Well done Sonagi. But can you guessing my id before dong9chin9?
NES,
There are 2 hojusoju posting here. One is legit, and one isn’t.
Somehow my ID was hijacked by someone (swlee?) and it was barred. Maybe Robert has solved this problem.
They’re all my sock puppets.
Well, the problem could be resolved if Robert restored a proper login system.
I can’t even post if I log in; I can only do it while logged out. I e-mailed Robert about it twice, but he just ignored me like I’m some kind of troll. (Tee-hee!)
Hey Mizar, we should make a sock puppet version of Hannity & Colmes or CNN Crossfire.
Oh good, I’m back on-line.
I agree Shakuhachi, the sock puppetry here is doing my head in.
I don’t know if swlee is Kushibo or what. I can just picture him laying back on a deckchair under an umbrella on a beach somewhere in Hawaii, notebook on his lap and pina-colada in hand.
NES, have you tried getting a new password by doing the lost password thing? And if so, when you got the mail, was there an error in the key?
If that is the case, there is a fix for it.
What’s in a name?
That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
I can log in with my password just fine, but my posts don’t show up. I think they get caught in the SPAM filter or sent to moderation. Posting works fine when I’m logged out.
Why am I starting to feel like Emperor Gojong receiving “help” from Miura Goro? Next, Shakuhachi is going to ask for my personal address in order to send a “special Chuseok gift” to my home…
NES, lol.
Anyway, strange problem. Until it is fixed I guess we will just have to put up with the fakers.
Nothing wrong with mad cow:

“Hey Mizar, we should make a sock puppet version of Hannity & Colmes or CNN Crossfire.”
How about “Hannity and Clones?”
Even better.
