As much as I enjoy eating Carl's Jr. (been a while), I doubt there's anything so healthy there, man. I picked up the food from Whole Foods.

Seems like the moral of the story is "Don't eat food made in China." :sweat:


I knew it was a big story when most of the NHK news was devoted to it. Only problem was, because it's Japanese without subtitles, I couldn't fully understand what the issue was :)

When Japan Tobacco first ventured into the food and beverage business, it could not have envisioned that dumplings could be more harmful than cigarettes.

Japan Tobaccofs stock price fell as much as 7.1% Thursday morning after the company recalled pesticide-contaminated Chinese dumplings that had poisoned 10 people in Japan.

Shares of Japan Tobacco (other-otc: JAPAF - news - people ) were changing hands at 546,000 yen ($5,123.48) in early afternoon trading in Tokyo, down 2.8%, or 16,000 yen ($150.18).

JT Food, a Tokyo-based subsidiary of Japan Tobacco, on Wednesday recalled 23 frozen-food products, including gyoza (pork and vegetarian dumplings) and pork cutlets produced by Tianyang Shipin in China.

A least 10 people in Hyogo and Chiba prefectures suffered episodes of dizziness, diarrhea and vomiting after eating Tezutsumi Hitokuchi Gyoza (bite-sized, hand-wrapped gyoza) and Tezukuri Gyoza (handmade gyoza) made by the Chinese factory. The youngest victim, a 5-year-old girl in Ichikawa, Chiba prefecture, was for a time listed in serious condition after losing consciousness, according to The Japan Times.


Tokyo govt aware of bad gyoza Jan. 7

The Yomiuri Shimbun

The Tokyo metropolitan government failed to make public a report from JT Foods Co. that JTF had received complaints from consumers about nausea and diarrhea suffered after they ate the same frozen gyoza dumplings imported by JTF from China that caused health problems elsewhere across the country, even though the report was received Jan. 7, according to sources.

It is feared the Tokyo metropolitan government's slow handling of the situation could exacerbate damages.

On Jan. 7, the Tokyo metropolitan government was informed by the Hyogo prefectural government that a food poisoning case, which is suspected of being caused by an organic phosphorus agricultural chemical, was found in the prefecture and was asked by the prefectural government to inquire about the food poisoning with JTF, which is based in Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo.

On the basis of the report by the Hyogo prefectural government on Jan. 7 that three family members in Takasago, Hyogo Prefecture, suffered from organic phosphorus poisoning after eating gyoza on Jan. 5, the metropolitan government asked the Shinagawa ward government to investigate. The ward public health center conducted an investigation via telephone to JTF's food management division.

The investigation found that a consumer called a JTF outlet store in June 2007 complaining about poor health after eating gyoza, and an izakaya pub told JTF that a customer vomited after eating similar gyoza in August 2007. The ward government informed the metropolitan government of the two cases.

But the metropolitan government did not announce the Hyogo case or the two cases discovered from JTF.

The metropolitan and ward governments made on-site inspections of JTF on Wednesday, and police and JTF then announced the incidents.

The metropolitan government also mistakenly did not fax to the ward government documents from the Hyogo prefectural government showing that consumers had symptoms of organic phosphorus poisoning, the sources said.

The metropolitan government's welfare and health care bureau said the content of the first JTF report was inconclusive and the symptoms of organic phosphorus poisoning could not be found in the second report.
