Bought Popular Seasoning, Facing Sudden Trouble..."Buyers Could Face Criminal Punishment"

Purchasing seasoning online only to find out later that its trade has been blocked.

This is because a well-known overseas seasoning was found to contain narcotic ingredients. Let's take a look at which product it is.

First, the Mapo Police Station has blocked the trading of "Everything But the Bagel Sesame," a seasoning sold at the major U.S. supermarket chain Trader Joe's.

This product gained word-of-mouth popularity on social media as a tasty seasoning to sprinkle on bread.

It was being traded for 4,000 to 8,000 won per bottle.

The problem is that an appraisal by the National Forensic Service detected poppy seeds in this seasoning.

It was also found to contain the narcotic components morphine and codeine.

Police explained that since the product falls under the scope of the Narcotics Control Act, not only the sellers but also the buyers could be subject to criminal punishment.
