More expired and mislabeled eggs:
After receiving the finished product, Rui Mu Foods sold the expired liquid eggs to be used in baked goods and restaurants, prosecutors said.
[…]
In September of that year, Wu used mixed batches of imported and domestic eggs to make liquid eggs labeled as made in Taiwan, while also illegally adding seven days to their expiration date, prosecutors said.
This kind of stuff is rough!
I was just talking to someone near our farms that was helping them spray formalin on their farm earlier this year. I was a bit shocked, and after googling it seems common practice. We have a friend that is jowls is her last days of breast cancer that was using this for her business of preserving dried plants (like all those dried arts and craft type ones). Hard to prove, but the evidence exists and she was exposed a lot daily. I couldn’t imagine spraying this shit on food for planting to avoid fungus. Jeepers!

Another round of food poisoning, this time in K Town’s Sanmin District. Many of the people who got ill were reportedly studying at Kaohsiung Medical University. Hopefully their hospital could help with treatment.

I totally agree. Truly, no sarcasm. You can push. Actually, we should ALL push harder!! There are 2 top-tier issues. One, “retribtion”. 2. Whatever the word for quasi-retribution may be. And thrice. Lack of effort or fucks given in today society to pay attention to the details.
In case it wasn’t super obvious, number 3 is a joke on the premise before number 1. And not a joke. People here aren’t often thinking deep. Finish a hung, get paid, escape. Status quo
Oh the irony. And confusion. Now, what did you say?
Is anyone else having a hard time finding paprika recently? Both of the places I’ve looked — Trinity and a fairly big baking supply store, which are usually very reliable, have been completely sold out when I’ve checked. I wonder if it’s related to this…
I haven’t been looking. But Campbell’s minestrone soup and Patak’s curry paste have been gone from down here since last spring…
