This news was shocking...
Kao Corp. has temporarily suspended sales of its "Econa" brand products (total of 59 products), including its diacylglycerol (DAG) cooking oil, salad dressings, and mayonnaise because the fatty acid glycidyl esters in them is said to be carcinogenic.
The company said in their
statement that the suspension will continue "until the amounts of fatty acid glycidyl esters contained in Econa and related products can be lowered to levels found in common cooking oils."
Their annual sales of "Econa" brand products exceed 20 billion yen (200 million dollars)! Imagine how many people consumed their products X( Actually, I did used their products while they organized contests. But luckily, their products are relatively expensive, so I just used them temporarily at those times. But scary, you know!!!
Healthy food is not always healthy! I should better use long-selling products...
Take care!!!

Last night, he had dinner with his co-worker but it seems like he didn't enjoy that much, so I went to have a glass of wine with him at Izakaya (Japanese style pub) to refresh! It was after 0am, so we couldn't stay long but the Izakaya was cool!!! A small glass of wine and beer is 100yen ($1) on Thursdays! Actually, we wanted to go there for a long time. I forgot the name of the Izakaya, so I will report about it again when we could take time to go there. The weather was nice at night, so we enjoyed walking back home :)
