acetone & toluene in candy from china

[jason]

Yuka is telling me that acetone & toluene have been found in foods (red bean paste) imported into Japan from China (in Japanese). She’s always telling me that when we hear about things in Asia, in the English news, she’s heard about it weeks or months before. A previous issue last month: Two fall sick after eating Chinese bean paste in Japan - Yahoo! News. When you think of acetone & toluene, think nail polish remover and paint thinner. Probably leaks in from the ink on packaging.
