Fake herb scandal hits liquor industry

The “fake herb” scandal triggered by products sold by health food manufacturer Naturalendo Tech has hit the KOSDAQ bourse and the television home shopping industry.
Now it is the liquor business that is facing the consequences.
Bekseju, a rice wine manufactured by Kooksoondang, has been found to contain cheaper but banned Cynanchumauriculatum royal, instead of Cynanchumwilfordii, or “baeksuo,” according to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
