Title: China milk scare spreads to vegies 毒豆 View count: 263 Rating: 5.0 (1 ratings) Description: There's another food scare involving China. This time frozen green beans, produced in the country, are being blamed for sending at least one person to the hospital. As a result, a Japanese supermarket chain pulled the frozen beans from its shelves on Wednesday, Reuters reported. The move comes after it was discovered the beans were tainted with a pesticide. Preliminary tests showed one package of beans contained 34,000 times the permitted level of the highly toxic insecticide, Japan's Health Ministry said. The victim, a woman, was hospitalized with vomiting and a numb mouth after eating the green beans, which are imported from China by Nichirei Foods and sold in Ito-Yokado supermarkets, according to the report. This latest food scare comes just a month after a major scandal involving tainted milk, which killed four babies in China and made thousands of others sick. During that investigation, officials found the milk contained melamine — an industrial chemical. 東京・八王子市のスーパーで販売された中国製の冷凍いんげん豆から殺虫剤の成分が検出された問題で、商品は２０袋を１箱にこん包して中国から出荷されていたことがわかりました。店頭に並ぶまでに箱が開封される可能性は低く、警視庁は、生産や販売の過程を中心に商品の保管状況を調べ、どの段階で殺虫剤の成分が混入したのか捜査を進めています。 Tags: china, food, scare, involving, frozen, kidney, beans, pestide, residue, 殺虫剤, 豆, Author: chinagogo2008 |
