It is a Chinese product imported and sold by ‘Best Distribution (Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do)’. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety urged, “If you purchased the product in question, stop consuming it and return it to the place of purchase.” It is also a good idea to check whether mushrooms are domestic or Chinese before purchasing them. For example, the caps of domestic shiitake mushrooms are wide and irregular in size, and the grooves on the surface are shallow and not clear. The surface of the cap is dark brown.
