Nongshim (農心) Snacks Got Rat’s Head!
This is scary. I love Nongshim instant noodles a lots, especially the Shim Ramyun. The hot and spicy flavour is so so so delicious. But now…. Yes I know that it is the snacks, shrimp crackers, that is having problem, but highly chance that the instant noodles and the snacks are manufactured in the same factory, right?
Taken from Channel News Asia:
Nong Shim’s shrimp crackers pulled off shelves in Singapore
SINGAPORE: Authorities have – as a precaution – instructed all Nong Shim shrimp crackers to be pulled off the shelves immediately.
The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) issued the recall because the company which makes the snacks, sent out an advisory note after a suspected rat’s head was found in a bag of its shrimp crackers.
Nong Shim is South Korea’s largest processed food maker.
The South Korean company has stopped producing the snack pending investigations. It is also recalling the product from shops across South Korea.
AVA advises consumers who have bought the products to discard them.
