A major Japanese food supplier has recalled more than 100,000 packs of a popular brand of sliced white bread after rat parts were found inside some loaves.
The latest scare adds to a raft of food safety scandals plaguing Asia’s second biggest economy, which has a longstanding reputation for the reliability of its food exports.
In a statement on Wednesday, Pasco Shikishima Corporation said it was investigating how parts of a small animal found its way into two packets of sliced bread, adding that no one has fallen sick so far after consuming the product.
It later confirmed to CNN that the remains belonged to a rat.
