Carcinogenic mold toxin found in corn snacks...Korea Food and Drug Administration issues recall

They said it's corn snack.

I was startled thinking it was a rice paddy ditch..

We both eat quite often;;;

I have never seen the snack called Little Land Corn Snack before.

I asked the kids just in case, and they said they didn't eat the snackㅠㅠ

I really hope these kinds of things don't come up when eating, seriously ㅠㅠ
