Shop pulls pasta as ‘mac & fleas’ fails to impress
A DEPARTMENT store in the Gubei area of the city has withdrawn from sale all of its pasta products imported from Italy after a customer found bugs living in a bag of macaroni.
Shanghai Takashimaya agreed to suspend the sale of Pasta del Levante branded items after a woman surnamed Jin found the offending creatures in a 500g bag of pasta purchased on Saturday.
The product had an expiry date of February 3, 2017, Shanghai Morning Post reported yesterday.
The store offered Jin financial compensation, but she insisted on the removal of the products from sale, and Takashimaya acquiesced.
Liu Shaowei, an expert from East China Science and Technology University, warned consumers against eating products that contain bugs.
