Recently, mucus that looked like snot was discovered in a certain can of beer purchased at a large warehouse supermarket. The manufacturer stated that the problem occurred during the distribution process and is believed to be caused by the protein in the beer meeting air.
According to JTBC’s ‘Incidence Chief’ on the 4th, sticky mucilage was recently discovered in a can of beer.
Informant A purchased three boxes of 24 cans of beer at a large warehouse supermarket in the middle of last month. It is said that when a can of beer was taken out of the refrigerator and poured into a glass, sticky mucus was found.
Surprised, Mr. A opened the other can he had also purchased, but there was still the same slime in it. Mr. A said, “At first, it looked like Palbochae, but as time went by, it became like snot.” He added, “You can eat it without knowing, but you can’t eat it without knowing.”
When I smelled it, there was no special smell from this substance. Mr. A immediately reported it to the manufacturer.

Manufacturer: “It appears to be a phenomenon caused by protein and air meeting”
The manufacturer responded to Mr. A’s protest by saying that there may have been a problem during the distribution process.
Mr. A said, “The person in charge said, ‘It may have happened because the forklift spilled while loading and unloading and a little air was introduced.’” “Then, when air enters, there should be no carbonation. “(The company) said that this slime was created when protein and air met,” he said. Mr. A said that he did not find any dents in the can.
According to Mr. A, the manufacturer requested that the purchased beer be discarded and provided other beer products from the same company as compensation.

Mr. A was not the only consumer like this. On the 27th of last month, netizen B posted a post titled, ‘Mucus like snot comes out of beer.’ Person B also purchased the same brand of beer as Mr. A.
Mr. B said, “The same slime came out of the beer twice recently. “I feel uncomfortable,” he said, sharing the situation. In the attached photo, a highly viscous liquid is flowing out of the beer can.
A food expert looked at the beer in question and said, “It appears that the thickener or other protein ingredients were not mixed properly,” and “It is not toxic, but it seems that the manufacturer needs to take action.”
