Human⁤ Tooth Found in⁤ Mooncake​ Purchased at Chinese Supermarket

Purchased at ‘Kim’s⁤ Club’ in ⁣Changzhou, China, the company claims to inspect with X-rays.

A human tooth was found in a⁢ mooncake ⁤purchased at a Chinese supermarket, causing shock.

According⁣ to the Hong Kong South ⁢China Morning Post⁣ and⁢ Chinese media⁣ outlet ‌Guangming, a Chinese ⁤woman⁣ bought a 29.9 yuan⁤ (about 5,600 won) meat moon cake in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province on the 5th and ⁣discovered human teeth inside it.

The woman reported the incident to the ​police, saying, “This does not belong ‌to anyone in my family.”⁤ She ⁤also posted a related video ​on social media.

Consumers who purchased the moon ⁣cake left more than 100,000⁤ reviews, with ⁤many complaining of stomachaches and saying the ‍meat‍ in ‌the moon cake was ⁢not fresh.

The supermarket in ⁢question is an American supermarket chain, and a ⁢Changzhou ‍Sam’s Club employee said the company is investigating⁣ the ​incident.

The manufacturer ‍of the moon cake ‍explained that it is impossible⁢ for teeth ⁤to‌ be mixed in with the meat, as it is inspected ‌with an⁤ X-ray machine before being minced and shipped.

This is not the ‍first time that something like this has happened at a Sam’s Club store in ​China. In 2022, ‍a woman in Fujian Province,‌ China, ⁣bought⁣ Swiss rolls at Sam’s Club, and ⁣her uncle reportedly found three artificial teeth in the bread he ate.

In the⁤ same year, a ⁢Sam’s Club in Nanjing ‌was fined 30,000⁤ yuan for⁤ selling ‍moldy strawberries, and a Shunyi store in‌ Beijing was fined 65,000 yuan for selling​ expired ⁤powdered milk.

Sam’s Club is a membership warehouse club affiliated with Walmart, operating in China, Mexico, ⁣Brazil, and the ‍United​ States. ‌It entered China⁢ in 1996 and has 49 branches in major cities.

Sam’s Club has faced several incidents in‌ China,‍ raising concerns about food safety and quality control.
