Urgent Recall of Chinese Wood Ear Mushrooms: Carcinogenic Pesticides Detected at 17 Times the Standard Limit

🚨 Shocking news has emerged regarding wood ear mushrooms and white wood ear mushrooms, often added as a must-have topping for their crunchy texture in dishes like malatang and jjamppong. According to an investigation by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS), a large number of imported and sold Chinese wood ear mushrooms and white wood ear mushrooms were found to contain the highly carcinogenic fungicide 'carbendazim' and insecticide 'acetamiprid' at levels up to 17 times the standard limit. The authorities have initiated an urgent recall and sales suspension. The affected products are specific batches of Chinese mushroom products imported by companies such as Taeyang Trading, Seongmin Tongshang, and Taerim SM, with a total import volume reaching a staggering 18 tons. The MFDS urges anyone who has purchased or is in possession of these imported products to immediately stop consumption and return them. For the time being, it's crucial to check the origin when consuming imported wood ear mushrooms in malatang or jjamppong. 📝 Source: omuk.official
