Rat Head found in Dangerous Shrimp Crackers

ANCHOR:
It's probably a good idea to check before eating any shrimp crackers. Although a Korean manufacturer says their factories are clean, somehow a rat's head was found inside a bag of shrimp crackers. Here's more on the story.

STORY:
This was found in a bag of South Korea's popular shrimp crackers. Investigators said it was gray and had hints of burnt fur. The verdict - it was a head of a dead rat. A woman revealing herself only as Ms. Yoo said when she first saw it, she thought it looked like a head of a shrimp. But a second look made her realize it was something far from it.

[Ms. Yoo, Consumer]:
"At that time I thought it was a shrimp's head, because I found
it in a bag of shrimp crackers. I was closely checking it, only to realize it
was a rat's head with teeth and eyes."

Officials from the Korea's Food and Drug Administration believe it was
mixed into the chips at manufacturer Nong Shim's factory in China.
Another factory manager insisted that his plant was rat-free.

[Choi Myon-Seung, Top Manager, Nong Shim Busan Plant]:
"We put two rat traps at each entrance of the plant. Just in case. Protectively. We put them at the food plant."

This prompted retailers across the country to pull the top-selling snacks from its shelves. The crackers are exported all around Asia as well as to the United States.

In South Korea, the shrimp crackers are served at pubs as a beer snack
and are also a favorite of children.
