Fujiya scandal

hi. Im sure you already know about fujiya's old-milk scandal and some of you posted adds about it. I was surprised and shocked to hear that news. But I don’t think this is a very serious problem. For one reason, consumption date is usually written a few days before than the real consumption date. Next, this is from a kind of a biologic point of view, but bacteria propagate many times in normal temperature. Before, pastry chefs kept ingredients which could easily get lots of bacteria like custard cream in normal temperature, not in the fridge. This is not permitted by the Food sanitation law now as biology developed. But no problem happened at that time, and Fujiya had no customer who ate those products and got ill so far. I felt that as biology and science developed, there would be more strict sanitation standards. Although they are very improtant to protect our health, the progress of those doesn’t always give us a good result, I think.
