"Rat Remains" found in Japanese Bread: Firm Recalls Over 100,000 Packets |Vantage with Palki Sharma

"Rat Remains" found in Japanese Bread: Firm Recalls Over 100,000 Packets | Vantage with Palki Sharma
A headline has come out of Japan that is horrifying the world. The world is aghast that Japan, known for its obsession with great hygiene, is facing a rat-related catastrophe. Pasco, a Japanese bread-making company, has had to issue a recall after two packets of bread were found to contain "Rat Remains". Pasco has recalled 104,000 packets of bread and also issued a public apology. But will this be enough to salvage the reputation that the company has built over the years? Food recalls are rare in Japan, but when a problem does occur, the stock market has punished the errant companies.

The fact that they didnt conceal this and had to recall a lot of those bread more than they should, speaks a lot about Japanese culture. If this happened in other countries, I bet, no recall would have to be done And that they would probably only compensate the person who reported the incident.

it’s unrealistic, people would starve since the demand for food is too high. All processed foods have a certain amount of “unavoidable defects”. 4-6% of bean cans are allowed to be insect infested or moldy, it’s the consequence of producing certain foods at such a high rate to feed our fat a$$ nation lol

[@heyking8583]

​@tesac_182 cant trust machine for qc

[@LifeOdysseyMotivation]

@tesac_182 I worked at the food production line in a food company. Most machine checkers are for metal detectors only. When a product has a bit of metal like screws, nails, and all other kinds of metals, big, small, or powdered in it, once it goes through the metal detector, it will sound the alarm and the box containing that metal contaminated product will be pushed away by the machine. And it happens several times in food production facilities. But this machine will not ever detect some kind of foreign thing like that cockroach or rat or any organic thing.

There are types of consumers, one is quality based, while the other is preparation based, when there are reports of uncleanliness, it is not to quickly judge, 1.The critic would like to be compensated 2.another critic would also like to be compensated in sums 3.another would like to be compensated to cheat and use trade recipe as theirs 4 another would like to be compensated for the purpose of going to the flow and also to gain from add ons and exaggeration.. LIFE'S LESSON:Examine further oneself, for THERE is A MIRROR that has EXAMINED, EXAMINES the Works of thy critic, being a critic is putting oneself to the shoes of a situation, applying the standard that encourages, uses applicable terminologies in judgment. ****IMPORTANT**** this is a NON-AI response to Quality approach.
