What's worse than finding a worm in your apple? Finding a half-eaten worm. What's worse than that? Probably finding a dead mouse in the bottom of a packet of seasoning that you've just poured out onto your family's meal.
A very unfortunate Xi'an woman was having a hard time getting the last chunks of seasoning out of her mala spice packet, so she opted to cut the bag open for easier access to the rest. That's when she found a seasoning-caked mouse carcass, and presumably freaked the hell out.
The powder was not past its expiration date, a fact that many outlets covering the story have found worth mentioning - although, let's be real: if there's a dead mouse in your spices, you've got bigger problems than being finnicky about dates.
The woman filed a complaint to her local authorities, who found that the wholesale company behind the spice - Henan-based Shirenshan Ltd. - had been operating without a license for two years, their previous one having expired.
Doesn't exactly sound like the folks at Shirenshan run a tight ship.
