Pocky lovers beware! (plus other related munchies)

Saw this on my friends blog, thought it'd be good for everyone to take notice!


quote:

PLEASE TAKE NOTE - STOP EATING THESE SNACKS Hong Kong has ordered stores to pull 16 popular Japanese & Chinese snacks off their shelves because they contain an unapproved sweetener which some studies have linked to cancer and other health problems.

The products are :
1. Glico chocolate pretzels,
2. Kiss mints,
3. Pringles potato crisps (mild salt flavor),
4. Kiku Prawn Crackers,
5. Kiku cuttlefish crackers,
6. Koebisen cuttlefish crackers,
7. Ika Mirin shrimp crackers,
8. Kiariri prawn-flavoured pretzels,
9. Nissin cup udon (beef, curry and tempura flavours),
10. Nissin UFO Oomori Yaki Soba Instant Noodles,
11. Nissin Tatsujin Tonkatsu Ramen Instant Noodles,
12. Natchoro sweetener
13. Qiaqia melon seeds from mainland China ,
14. Popular chocolate and strawberry flavoured Glico Pocky biscuit sticks,
15. Garlic Chip Rice Crackers,
16. Koikeya Don Tacos Spicy Beef.

They had also been removed from sale in Singapore after labs found they contained STEVIOSIDE, a sugar-substance not approved for consumption in HongKong or Singapore .

here's a link with more info.

I guess you could always just read the ingredients and look for stevioside before buying it

ehh life is short

just enjoy them but in moderation...man i must have ingested POUNDS of Pocky sticks in my day btwn h.s. thru post-college. then again when u think about it, these days ANYTHING can cause cancer. esp when everything has some sort of preservatives in it.

who can resist thin cookies dipped in chocolate?! yum yum

altho i have to admit, i like Tomato and Salad Pretz better

wait...PRAWN CRACKERS?!!! = SHRIMP CHIPS?!!!

OH NO....

:thud:
