Rat pieces in bread lead to product recall.

A major food supplier in Japan has had to recall over 100,000 packs of sliced white bread from one of their popular brands due to the unexpected discovery of rat parts inside some of the loaves. This is just the latest in a series of food safety concerns that have been plaguing Asia's second largest economy. Japan has always been known for the high quality and reliability of their food exports, so this news has come as quite a shock to many.

The company responsible for the bread, Pasco Shikishima Corporation, released a statement on Wednesday announcing the recall and assuring the public that no one has reported getting sick from consuming the product. However, it was later confirmed that the remains found in the bread were indeed from a rat. The bread in question is called "chojuku" bread, which is known for its chewy texture and is manufactured at a factory in western Tokyo.

In light of this discovery, Pasco Shikishima Corporation has taken swift action by recalling the affected products and halting production at the factory in question. They are also conducting an investigation to determine how the rat parts ended up in the bread and are implementing measures to prevent a similar incident from happening again. The recall affects around 104,000 packs of bread and the company has expressed their gratitude to their customers for choosing their products.

The company spokesperson also clarified that the recalled product is not sold overseas. White bread, in particular, is a staple for many Japanese people when they want a break from traditional Japanese food and opt for a Western-style meal instead. Pasco, founded in 1920, is a well-known supplier of baked goods with 12 factories and over 3,700 employees across Japan.

Unfortunately, this is not the first food scare to hit Japan in recent years. Just this past March, Japanese health authorities had to recall three dietary supplements from a major drug maker after several users died and over 100 were hospitalized. Last year, there were also instances of cockroaches found in rice balls sold at a convenience store and incidents of people tampering with shared soy sauce bottles and communal ginger at fast food chains.

The news of this recall has sparked a lot of reactions on social media. Some customers expressed their disappointment, while others made sarcastic comments about the company's previous advertisement claiming they put "nothing unnecessary" in their bread. One customer even joked that the bread must taste good for small animals too. It's clear that this incident has caused quite a stir among patrons who are torn between their love for Pasco's products and their shock over the discovery of rat parts in their bread.
