In South Korea, an urgent recall has been issued for thousands of melon-flavored pies after a significant mix-up involving durian flavoring, which is notorious for its overpowering smell. The incident occurred when a baker mistakenly used durian instead of melon due to a labeling error from the flavor supplier. As a result, the pies emitted a foul odor reminiscent of 'poo and rotten onion', leading to customer complaints on social media. One user described the smell as so unpleasant that their cat attempted to bury the pie. The company responsible for the pies acknowledged the mistake and expressed a deep sense of responsibility towards affected customers, stating that they failed to identify the raw material during the verification process. The situation highlights the challenges of food labeling and quality control in the food industry.
