Even worse than contaminated heparin

A rat’s head was found in snack food in South Korea — snack food made in China. The Korean snack is cracker dough mixed with shrimp, neither of which is rat-like.

The Korea Food and Drug Administration will send investigators to the factory in Qingdao in eastern China, which performs initial production steps for shrimp crackers sold by South Korea’s leading processed food company Nongshim, said Choi Jong-dong, a KFDA official.

Of course, this next part sounds like it could happen here in America, just like South Korea:

Nongshim also has been under fire following revelations it continued to sell the snack even after it received a customer's complaint on Feb. 18 about the animal part found in the snack.

Anyway, besides boycotting the Olympic opening ceremony, if I’m a foreign dignitary, I’m boycotting Chinese food while I’m there.
