Recently, following the incident where a consumer found a false tooth in a date walnut cake at a Sam’s Club in Shanghai, consumers in Jilin and Guangdong have reported finding “teeth” in sausages and shumai, sparking panic across the internet.
On October 14, a consumer in Shanghai posted a video claiming to have found a metallic foreign object in a Sam’s Club date walnut cake. The video showed an object resembling a tooth with metal threads at one end. Netizens speculated that it might be a dental implant.
In response, the customer service at Sam’s Club Waiqiao store stated to the media that they had “reached a settlement with the customer.” However, according to the Qilu Evening News, the consumer revealed during a live broadcast that night that they had brought the cake and false teeth to the store for negotiation. The merchant offered a compensation of 1000 yuan with the condition of “not filming the receipt,” which the consumer deemed unreasonable, leading to a refusal to settle.
In a bizarre twist, a similar incident occurred in Jilin recently. According to reports, a resident of Baishan City, Jilin Province, purchased sausages at a booth in the local Hongqi Trade City, only to bite into “3 teeth” on the first bite. The individual recorded evidence and reported the incident to the market supervision authorities.
The video showed three white teeth in molar shape arranged neatly.
The consumer later posted another video stating that they had reached a settlement with the merchant.
Prior to these two incidents, a woman named Chen from Dongguan, Guangdong, posted that on October 13, her family found two connected teeth in a bowl of shumai purchased at a San Jin Tang Bao restaurant.
According to Chen’s statement on “Jing Shi Live,” her father bit into something hard while eating shumai and spat out two connected teeth, which made him nauseous.
Chen emphasized that those teeth were “definitely not from her father.”
The restaurant responded by stating that the shumai are distributed by the company headquarters and that their staff on-site did not provide a clear explanation of the teeth’s origin but emphasized that the product had “no quality issues.”
Currently, all three incidents are under investigation by the relevant authorities, but the source of the teeth remains a mystery, causing widespread panic online.
Many netizens expressed concerns, with comments like, “I have dental crowns that are tightly attached and can’t be easily removed, it’s impossible that they fell out of my mouth. Finding such things in sausages is frightening,” “Thinking about the many missing persons every day is really chilling,” “This is not a trivial matter! What if it’s human flesh,” “Check which missing person these teeth belong to,” “I really dare not eat Chinese food.”
