According to reports from major media on the 4th, a video showing a rat falling into a sauce container at a vocational technical university cafeteria in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, China, was posted on social networking services (SNS). Following the controversy, the university acknowledged the incident and issued an apology.

As food hygiene controversies continue to emerge in China, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education immediately launched an investigation into the incident in cooperation with public security authorities.

Netizens who saw the incident reacted with comments such as "I can't eat Chinese food anymore," "How many times has this happened now?" and "Seeing that the sauce container was half empty, it seems this was discovered after some of the food had already been served."

Previously, the Chinese food industry has been suffering from a series of hygiene scandals. In September, a worker at the third Qingdao Brewery plant in Qingdao, Shandong Province, was filmed urinating in the raw material (malt) storage area, sparking controversy. This incident caused the company to lose a market capitalization of 6.7 billion yuan (approximately 1.2 trillion won).

Additionally, on the 26th, a video spread on social networking services (SNS) showing a man at a butcher shop in Anhui Province, eastern China, cleaning lamb meat with his mouth. In the video, the man used his mouth instead of tools to bite and strip the meat from the lamb ribs.

Last month, a thick iron wire about 1.5 cm long was found in the student cafeteria of Jiaotong University, a prestigious university in Shanghai, sparking another food hygiene controversy. Incidents related to food hygiene have been occurring one after another.
