 Wed Jan 11, 2006 7:21 pm 'Ratball' soup report sparks protest |
|
| Quote: | JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Dozens of soup vendors rallied outside an Indonesian TV station Wednesday over a news report that alleged some sellers were using rat to make meatballs for their broth.
The protesters complained that the report was hurting their business.
Trans TV allowed five of the protesters into the building to hear their complaints -- but told them it stood by the report.
"We said it was true and backed up by our findings in the field," said Trans spokesman Ichwan Murni. "We have a duty to inform our viewers about the facts."
The report, which aired December 31, featured a taped confession of a man admitting using rat meat to make the balls, known here as bakso.
The food scare is the latest in a series that have hurt sales at restaurants and small-scale vendors nationwide. Last week, local media reported that dangerous amounts of formaldehyde were being used to preserve fish, noodles and bean curd.

Oh siiiiiiiiiiiiiiick! I totally can't handle stories like this, whether they be true or not. Currently canned vegetables gross me out, and fast food places. I have a hard enough time w/ a regular sit down restaurant, but, ewwwwww, *puke*
Yeah, I'm a wimp.

And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with our scars
