Hong Kong Sushi Choices Falter as Cardboard Boxes Replace Plastic after Ban

A major Japanese discount chain in Hong Kong has begun packaging sushi in cardboard boxes following the city’s plastic ban. While some customers prefer the traditional transparent plastic boxes for better visibility and perception of freshness, others prioritize comfort and air conditioning in the store’s seating area. However, the cardboard boxes offer no visual guidance on the sushi’s appearance, raising concerns about presentation and hygiene. The store has posted notices reminding customers of the plastic ban and encouraging the use of cardboard boxes for dine-in. Some customers express concerns about not being able to inspect the freshness of the sushi in cardboard packaging, while others believe the freshness should be consistent regardless of packaging. The ban’s grace period allows businesses time to adapt, but offenders may face fines.

Montana Woman Dies After Eating Poisonous Mushrooms at Sushi Restaurant

A Montana woman, Donna Ventura, died after eating poisonous morel mushrooms from China at Dave’s Sushi restaurant. The mushrooms, which were imported from China, caused gastrointestinal illness in at least 51 people, two of whom died. Ventura spent two weeks in intensive care before succumbing to the toxins that destroyed her liver and kidneys. Before her death, she communicated with her loved ones through messages written with a red magic marker, expressing her pain and love. The CDC warns that morel mushrooms, while generally edible, need to be fully cooked to prevent potential toxic effects. Ventura’s husband has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the restaurant.
