Asian Shrimp importer hilariously trolls California food inspector

Recommended Posts

So I was focking around with you guys as lunch was being prepared and my wife just starts laughing for seemingly no reason.

This is what we had, and I enjoyed it: https://www.yamibuy.com/en/p/savory-express-shrimp-shaomai-20pcs-17-64-oz/3146103011

Now that label you see at the website is slightly altered from the one we bought. The picture the same, ingredients. nutrition facts etc. all the same but in the fine print, something hilarious is missing.

This warning applied only to California. Not applied to 49 other states.
⚠️This product can expose you to chemicals including Cadmium which is known to the state of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/

If you go down to the bottom of that yamibuy link you can click on the disclaimer and see for yourself all the things California requires them to put on their website.

I can imagine how that conversation went. :lol: Some poor Asian guy with a penny-ante exporting business is delighted he has the opportunity to sell his shrimp in the US. He meets a useless California busybody government official for the first time to get the paperwork done and he blows his mind when she tells him the only way to do so is if he includes this bullsh*t cadmium warning on his label.

Anyway, for for part, seeing as we'd already purchased the product, and since my wife and I hold both California and California bureaucrats in such contempt, we were willing to roll the dice on the cadmium. Pretty good shrimp.
