Japan's Nissin recalls 500,000 noodles over insecticide fears
Great. Now we're going to face another wide spread paranoia about instant noodles.), I'm not so worried. Especially since they decided to recall it too, so keep consumer confidence in their product high. That's actually a good move. Money is little sacrifice to show consumers your company's integrity and standards.
In fact, that's precisely what's killing China's products now. Not just how many times contaminates have been discovered, but how they knowingly did it. Standards is one thing, but integrity is another. Without the latter, the former means nothing.
It's unfortunate, but stuff like this happening so many times has pushed that image from the individual companies to the Chinese manufacturing industry in general.

Perhaps if there's a low enough demand, Nissin Noodles will experience a price drop? That happened over here where some new brands took the market by storm a few years back.

Ouch, that's rough.It's affecting me already. My wife just threw away my stockpile of instant noodles and cup ramen.
Since we're on the subject of food safety, I wonder how the Chinese government handle these kind of situation. For a country that is willing to execute an official for taking bribe, they are really dropping the ball when it come to food inspection.
I don't know where I heard this from, maybe the news, my parents, or this very forum, but apparently the Chinese government received complaints about the milk powder, and already suspected possible contamination before the Olympic Games. Needless to say why they only took action now if that was the case.

They should make the bosses of those companies eat their own products. That would be quite a punishment.
The melamine in the recent milk scandal isn't that bad for adults. Since adults who can drink fresh milk tend to do so, they'll really only consume it through other products, such as chocolate. It was detrimental to babies' health though, since all they drink is milk in its powdered form (for those who don't get a human feed), and their kidney's not developed enough to get rid of toxin. The babies would risk kidney failure, while adults who take an absurdly high amount would probably get kidney stones.
This all goes back to a couple of years ago, when there were babies developing a "big head syndrome" which was attributed to milk powders lacking in protein. The government then raised the bar, which led to Sanlu adding melamine, which could trick protein tests.

Hey, I never said they wouldn't be forced to drink absurdly high amounts. Kidney stones are said to be one of the most painful diseases you can acquire, making it more fitting.

There are so many unbelievable/great things about this:
1. She did not get fired.
2. "She's a pretty woman in her 20s and the children couldn't believe their luck."
3. She was actually hot.
4. The teacher who stopped her was about 4 times her size.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
She is a model for all hot women in the world. The porkers can stay on the side and watch in angst.
I'm sure she didn't get fired because the headmaster got something in return.
