Public Service: Tainted Foods to Avoid

Posted by: ZenKimchi in News & Media

NOTE: I’m moving this post back to the top because more stuff is still being found.

I’m going to maintain a list on this post of imported Chinese foods in Korea that could possibly be tainted with melamine.

MiSarang snacks
Nabisco’s Ritz cracker cheese sandwiches
Cadbury Chocolate
Danyang Day Bright’s Tasty Rice Crackers
Non-dairy creamer imported from Hong Kong (includes instant coffee packs)
Lipton Milk Tea Powder
M&M’s milk chocolate snack
Snickers peanut Fun Size
Kit Kat Mini chocolate bars
Lotte’s Choudy
Powdered egg white, powdered egg yolk and liquefied egg yolk from Dalian Hanovo Foods and Dalian Greensnow Egg Products Development (This is a hard one to pin down because powdered egg is used in bottled salad dressings.)
Also avoid cookies that look like these [HT Korea Beat]

CJ has said that it has regularly inspected Chinese raw materials in its products since 2006. Nongshim and Haitai Confectionary are setting up inspection processes post-melamine scandal. Haitai is also taking legal action against Chinese OEM manufacturer Carnival.

No TweetBacks yet. (If you appreciate ZenKimchi why not buy us a cup o' coffee?

Ooh, that is a family favorite of ours. It’s so delicious, even if it does smell like feet.

It takes a special person to like fermented foods. I wonder if it comes from a genetic survival need of our ancestors. From what I’ve read, some foods supply us with more nutrients in fermented form, along with the obvious benefit of boosting our immune systems.

yeah, “rotten garbag”. I eventually had to tell him not make any comments when I’ve had the kimchi jar out. he’s been kind enough to oblige me. and i don’t think he’d believe the health benefits of kimchi, though it had crossed my mind to mention it to him. : ) thankfully he loves spicey food though!

Hi, I just found your blog after googling “oyster stew” images. You food descriptions are great, images helpful. I’m a foodie too, lived in Korea (Seoul and Namhae Do) for a while and am also from the gulf coast (Pensacola). This is a great site, keep up the good work.
Since I haven’t read through the entire blog, have you explored the food cart issue yet? You know, all the different fish sticks and sticky cakes for snacks? Thanks for sharing your experiences in Korea. It’s has the best food! What I wouldn’t give for some crispy spicy chicken and a cold, cold beer.

I really want to do food carts. Usually when I’m at a food cart, I don’t have my camera. Bad habit. Some of us have been talking about doing street food walking tours in Seoul. I’ve done a bit about odeng and the Crab Man. I want to do more.

maryeats.com has a good video on street food.
