Big news in Taiwan, hasn't really made the news in the US yet.

fuckers better burn for this.

I still don't understand why not all food are spectrogrammed.

“The Taiwanese FDA has not yet identified the brands of the tainted products, so as a precautionary measure, we advise Filipino consumers to refrain from buying them,” Ong told the Inquirer by phone.

Looks like it's not a problem in the US...yet.

Since I don't buy foodstuffs from Taiwan or China...I'm probably OK...unless one of the US companies buys tainted "ingredients."

There are lots of Taiwanese products in Asian grocery stores and restaurants, especially the Bay Area and Silicon Valley. Things like boba tea should be avoided I think.

That's racist; but asian women love drinking boba tea, so does that make there breast even smaller than it's?

no need to string them up. They should be sentenced to consume their own products until it is all gone.
