Taiwan Beer ordered to clean up

by Nick Vagnoni, Posted Jan 14th 2006 @ 2:19PM

Officials in Taipei have ordered the makers Taiwan Beer to reexamine their quality control measures after the most recent in what seems to be a string of complaints. A Banqiao man recently found an aluminum wrapper and a rusty staple in one of his unopened bottles of Taiwan Beer. New Party Taipei City Councilor Li Ching-yuan recently told the Taipei Times that this is not the first time the popular brew has raised such complaints. Li cited several other instances in which bottle caps, cigarette butts, insects both live and dead, and, get this, a "condom-like" object have been found in bottles of Taiwan Beer. A directory at Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation, the brewery that produced roughly 280 million bottles of Taiwan Beer a year, apologized for the most recent incident and said that the factory would work on improving quality control.

I guess they really meant it. :oP The polution and litter in Taiwan can get pretty bad, especially around the river banks, where there are floating masses of trash that stink in the humid summers.
