Some Chinese breads are being distributed with a shelf life of up to half a year.
Consumer anxiety is also growing.
As the distribution of Chinese processed foods has recently increased, concerns surrounding the labeling of country of origin and preservatives are also mounting.
The Seoul Research Institute of Public Health and Environment tested 104 imported low-priced breads distributed in Seoul, and found that 54 of them contained propionic acid, a preservative.
Of these, 51 were from China.
Among the Chinese triangle castella products, some had a shelf life reaching six months.
In a consumer survey, 36% of respondents answered that they had experienced purchasing foreign breads and snacks mistaking them for domestic products.
Additionally, 73% of respondents said that information on the country of origin or preservatives was insufficient, so consumers need to check carefully.
