Emart No Brand Gimgaru Recall... "Will Devise Measures to Prevent Recurrence"
Recall and Refund Measures Due to Detection of Saccharin Sodium
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] A recall order has been issued for Emart's private brand (PB) product, No Brand's 'Conveniently Sprinkleable Seaweed Flakes.' The manufacturer is Kim Nori, and the product has an expiration date of April 18, 2023.
According to Emart on the 19th, this recall is due to non-compliance with the standard for sodium saccharin. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety regulates that sodium saccharin, a food additive used in gum and puffed snacks, should not be used in natural seafood products due to the possibility of consumer misunderstanding.
Emart has immediately stopped sales at all stores, posted notices about the issue in stores, and is conducting recalls and refunds for customers who purchased the product.
