| Broken glass in sunflower seeds from China |
| 2007-11-05 |
| Glass particles have been found in Norwegian bread containing sunflower seeds from China, the country's food safety authority said. The regulator said eight consumers in different regions of Norway found bits of finely ground glass in their bread before eating it and contacted their bakers. No one was hurt. He said 110 bakers in Norway bought some of a suspect shipment of sunflower seeds, which had been recalled along with baked goods containing the seeds. The Chinese exporter has sent a representative to Norway to discuss safety procedures. |

| #5 They were just trying to dilute the lead content. Unfortunately, the shards were from a supervisor's crystal wine goblet. Memo to China: No cooperation over Iran, no USA teams at your Olympics. |

| #4 I buy 50 pound sacks of Sunflower seeds to feed the squirrels, they're smart enough to eat the seeds and not the glass. |
