Fuck, man. What a nightmare. Imagine you lose your whole family to one joyous get-together breakfast because of a mistake and only you lived because you didn't like the food. Nature is ruthless
@@aarewitwo weeks is really, REALLY pushing it, unless it’s frozen of course (ik the vid is about frozen food but generally if stuff is frozen you’re good for prolonged time). Even a week is pretty long for prepared food to sit
At least that woman was found dead too. Do you imagine if she woke up after not drinking the beer yet and they let her know she just killed 74 people? Like, she would be despised the rest of her life, considered a grim reaper

As an organic chemist, if you showed me the structure of the toxin without context, i would never have guessed it was bioactive, let alone so profoundly toxic. Wow.
@@IamSentient314Not a biochemist, but compounds that react to our systems or tissues tend to resemble one another in shape. Since this looks like a fatty acid with a few things sticking off it, it looks unassuming.
@@IamSentient314many toxins will share some sort of functional group or shape which indicates some route of toxicity. This one doesn't have anything that would indicate such a high toxicity and if I didn't know any better I would assume it's some metabolic intermediate

For anyone unaware, the freezing itself isn’t a problem, it’s how it is handled. A news article posted elsewhere in the comments explained it was left to thaw on the kitchen counter, then eventually put into the fridge, then days later it was prepared and consumed. Even without this particular fermented corn toxin, the family would have likely suffered from food poisoning at the very least.
Correct, never thaw food on the kitchen counter. Always thaw it in the fridge, where the food will always be lower than 5°c. That way you are sure that no bacteria have contaminated the food. If you are in a hurry, you can thaw it in a microwave oven, but make sure to cook it immediately after.
@@joshmerchant8737 probs true. i would think as long as the item you are thawing isn't massive then it should be fine as the frozen parts will keep the non frozen parts cool. As long as you dont forget about it then i would think it would be fine. Either way thawing in the fridge will give you a better result.
I used to watch you all of the time with my ex-girlfriend. We dated for 4 years and were friends for almost a decade. We'd sit down and watch a video or two while we ate. Making jokes like *plays frozen hotsauce as soon as she takes a bite from her bacon* She was in the medical field and I just enjoyed learning, so it was a great time together. I'd ask questions about terminology i didn't fully understand, and she'd explain it in deeper detail to me. I started memorizing terms and even made a game of it. Every time you'd say a medical term we'd press pause and I'd guess the meaning of it. I was actually becoming quite good at it lol. Overall it was just a wholesome good time. After a bad breakup, I just couldn't watch these anymore. I would get flooded with happy memories from the past and then immediately become sad and depressed because I missed her very much. After almost a year, this is the first time that I was able to enjoy your content the way I used to. I really love your content and it continues to bring joy into my life. The very real lessons that are taught here and the empathy for those who are portrayed in the video. Just wanted to say thanks for your contribution to the world, medical field and all of your viewers' lives.
Thanks so much for sharing. I am glad you’re able to enjoy the videos again. I’ve been in similar before and for me it was a time very difficult too and hard to describe in words. Stay strong brother, bright future!
Man, the survivor's guilt must have hit him harder than a truck on the highway. At some point dumb luck is synonymous with bad luck- Because I can certainly imagine someone regretting being the survivor in a case like this. Hope he had a good Friend or SO to fall back on for emotional support.
Not fully right.. they ate the corn noodle year ago and were fine.. it just the mother did not make new fermented noodle and used last year stock that make them suffered..
@@phaedrapage4217Bro whiskey, unless it contains methanol, is fine. Ethanol is genuinely poison not just for us but also for bacteria. As long as it wasn't distilled by an amateur you have nothing to fear. Alcohol was actually not just consumed in history for its properties as a drug. It was simply safer to consume than water. It was diluted making the water used for the dilution safe to drink. Just remember not anything that's a poison for us is also a poison for bacteria. But it's easy to tell what is. Ethanol dries things up, that's common knowledge which means it basically rips cells open. Other examples of the same effect are sugar and salt which are also disinfectants.
No whiskey, daum. The issue, mom likely had a lump of frozen dough which took ages to unfreeze and largely enough time for malicious bacteria to work and likely it stayed in fridge undecided if cook it or not after first dinner till she decided to hurl it to freezer. Especially due to unfreezing stuff on air makes things humid so extra good for bacterias to work. My guess even that dish would be totally fine frozen even for 50 years if process all dough into noodles before boiling final stage and freeze them like that.
I can't imagine the guilt, fear, anger, and sadness that the eldest son went through to see and experience everyone else in his immediate family die. I hope he's doing okay. Reading the case study, 9 people died in this case. Heartbreaking. Edit: The surviving son is playing himself! That's amazing. So strong.
Yeah and it had happened before. I looked it up too and found a case in Africa where 75 died and over 200 got sick. Scary. and very hard for that young man, especially since he didn't like those noodles to begin with .
I am so tired of not being able to use perfectly good words we've used in some cases for hundreds of years. All with perfectly good meanings. I dispise the unalive one. As if anyone isn't aware it's a stupid substitute for a perfectly good word. Or it's used and you think "on purpose, accidently, from old age." We have perfectly good words for all of that. Edit: had to correct because when I hit send unalive became unalike. And...it just did it again.

In the chinese reporting the surviving son said his mom took the frozen noodles out of the fridge, leftit outside for a few days before cooking it due to lack of space in the fridge. edit: this was from the news media from an interview with one of the survivors after the incident so it might not be included in the medical report which probably why chubbyemu didn't include it here's the text from the original report: 据张先生介绍，在东北三省，酸汤子是比较常见的食物，餐馆专门有卖。当时聚餐中毒的9个人中，他只认识姑姑姑父以及父母，“但姑姑姑父在当天就去世了”。据他后来了解，当天聚餐的其他人都是远房亲戚，多年未见。 他说，出事后，当时没吃酸汤子的三个年轻人中，有一人曾向他表示，酸汤子是她母亲做的，因为冰箱放不下，其母亲就把冷冻过的酸汤子从冰箱里拿出来，放在阴凉潮湿的地方放了几天
I recently found out that Chinese have space for actual dishwashers and fill the space with a totally useless dish warmer. The woman has to actually wash the dishes in the sink and then for no reason at all put them in the warmer.
@@Drew-Dastardly it might not be a dish warmer, but a disinfecter that heats it up to very hot tempertures. dishwahsers does this at end of the cycle too
As a scientist specializing in nutrition, I can tell you that freezing the noodles for a year was not the problem. The process of freezing prevents bacteria and food spoilage, no matter how long the food is frozen. Food in the freezer for a long time can certainly change in taste, colour and texture, but it will not give you food poisoning. This food must have had bacteria before it was put in the freezer, or it was left out to defrost and then bacteria started to grow. If is best to always defrost food in the refrigerator, even if it takes a day or two.
My mom would buy fried chicken and keep it on the counter overnight or sitting in the oven in the box it came in. I'd never eat it the next day but she would finish it all. I don't know how she survived doing that for so many years.
Cases these are the reason I'm careful about food being left outside for long periods of time! Before my stepdad moved away, I would sometimes come home to him leaving the milk out for the whole day with the excuse of it being winter so the temperatures weren't that high. One day we ate pap (A South African dish kind of like porridge) for dinner, and I already poored milk into mine. I realized that the milk was outside when I found it and asked him now long it had stood outside and he asked me if it mattered. I refused to eat it and he got really upset, but I would rather waste that bit of food then risk getting sick from it. Another time he also took out buns to eat,and I saw that it was already molding,even after being in the freezer. I asked him and my mom if they knew that it had mold, and my mom said no, but he knew, and wanted to eat it even after being completely covered in mold, as well as another time where we were at my grandparents’ house and he saw pasta in the fridge and said we should eat it, even though it was there before my grandparents left and by that time they had been gone for almost two weeks. We told him that it would be dangerous to eat it and he got angry because we were wasting food and put it on the counter. I threw it away,a rn again he got upset. He is in his 30’s and I’m literally 14 and somehow I’m more informed about food safety and care more for my health than he does and I just don’t understand how he hasn’t landed in the hospital because of this before??
I just ate meat after 5 years in the freezer (fresh meat that I put in a vacuum bag). Good as fresh. I was just one of my experiments. I would never eat food that has not been protected by very low temperatures. At room temperature many bacteria can grow in the food, and some of them make some nasty poisons. As for fermented food....... I have a strong instinct against it. Not even beer.
I would warn against harboring resentment or frustration against either one of your parents because that's going to bring a lot of suffering for both of you. Instead, I recommend showing him this video and other examples to instill in him some common sense regarding food. Also, I suggest talking about the life cycles and reproduction of bacteria, viruses and parasites so he is aware of it. If after all that he is adamant about eating that food, let him eat all he wants while you avoid it.
Not even a full 30 seconds in to this video and all I needed to read was "noodles". He's made videos about bad noodles, bad rice, and bad spaghetti/pasta before. Just spared 24 minutes from my life. Ty.
Coming from an Asian family, I know for sure that Asian parents likely don't take food safety very seriously. They often leave dishes cooked for lunch out at room temperature to be reheated for dinner 7-8 hours later with only a basket covering the top to keep flies away or leave cooked rice overnight in the rice cooker. When I tell them to put it in the fridge, they come up with excuses like how the food tastes off if it's refrigerated and then reheated or how Asians have been doing this for centuries and never had any problems. I think it might have to do with Eastern medicine having no emphasis on germs and the toxins they produce and most older Asians still trusting Eastern medicine more.
My husband is Chinese and his momma is like this. I just go behind her and refrigerate everything she leaves out lol I just tell her the cats will get it because we have three cats. lol
My former Asian boyfriend's mother would also leave rice out and food in pans for days... It sounds stupid, I know, but although I thought it one day I'm bound to get sick and die, I ate it because I didn't want to be rude...
" doing this for centuries and never had any problems " yeah, of course, the dead ones aren't alive to tell the histories you can't have any problem if you're dead !
Pretty sure that is just the typical "we've doing it this ways for years" that you see literally everywhere for everything. Cars, programming, carpentry, music, trying to get someone to update the menu for a restaurant, how you should be cutting the grass on the lawn, etc. People can have a pretty huge obsession with tradition and "this is how we have always done it"
man could you imagine? being all happy and cheery with your family only for a few hours to pass and they're all dead from the 1 food item you hate? would make me hate that dish even more.
The actual case report is even worse than what we are presented with in this video. "On October 4, a total of 12 persons involving 5 families gathered for lunch and dinner. At around 8∶00 am on October 5, the 12 persons had breakfast together and left separately. Among them, 9 persons consumed the sour soup , while 3 did not and all the 12 persons had consumed the other food items. The 9 persons then successively developed gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Finally, all 9 cases died after treatment."
If you think im weird amd if you actively avoid me for the sake of your personal comfort, i am not gonna call medics for you. Bro gets shunned but is expected to fly in to save the day??
This is about fermented foods, don't be afraid to eat your leftovers. Bongkrekic Acid is what caused this from fermented corn and can also come from fermented coconut.
Correct, and a news article posted elsewhere in the comments explained it was left to thaw on the kitchen counter, then eventually put into the fridge, then days later it was prepared and consumed. Even without this particular fermented corn toxin, the family would have likely suffered from food poisoning at the very least.
@@MsLemon42 I have tried and tried to make my husband stop doing this. He doesn't want to put hot food directly into the fridge or freezer, for some reason. While I am starting to freak out more and more. We have been fine thus far, but it only takes one time... I'm looking forward to the winter, when he at least leaves the food outside to cool down. Better than leaving it inside the warm house to cool down.
@@Elora445 please don't put hot food in the fridge or freezer. It raises the temperature of the fridge/freezer which in turn might cause the microbes to grow faster and frozen food to thaw (and it consumes more electricity). The best way to prevent microbial growth is to cool the food quickly outside the fridge and then put it in (I use cold/cooling plates meant for catering).
Whoa these last two comments are dangerously misguided. Why do people speak so adamantly about things they don't really know about? Do NOT ever let cooked food get to "room temperature." That is the ideal temperature for food-born pathogens to grow. It is absolutely far safer to put hot food in the fridge than it is to just let it sit out and cool down. Your fridge controls its temperature - if you put something hot in there it will simply work harder to equalize the temperature in a short period of time. It is extremely unlikely that putting hot food in the fridge will lower the temperature of anything in the fridge enough to be of concern unless you put it directly on top of or squeezed next to something else. Best case scenario is to create an ice bath to cool down any leftovers quickly. However, simply putting them in the fridge when still warm will generally be fine.
The kid, ace, who ate the chips is going to be scarred for the rest of his life😔 At least he is alive, poor dude… But I cant believe he just lost all 4 of his own family members. How Ironic life can be. Chips could be healthier than noodles🍜
I was thinking the same thing. Wtf even is a "powerhouse" OTHER than the term we use to refer to mitochondria? Reminds me of Brawndo. Its got what plants crave.

I always keep in mind that cooking kills bacteria but doesn’t remove toxins released by bacteria. I never take chances. I have a list on my fridge of how long foods can be refrigerated. If I don’t get leftovers into the fridge within 2 hours, I throw them out. I’m already disabled due to chronic illness. I don’t need to give myself food poisoning too. I feel really bad for the survivor. The survivor guilt must be unbearable.
This is the most horrifying video on this channel yet. A whole family deceased, just like that. Ace gonna be haunted by this for the rest of his life... poor guy.
I honestly can’t imagine putting one foot in front of the other and keeping on after that. I mean. Its bad enough they went from Normal day to gone before the sun set. But to wake up the next day and realize it wasn’t a dream…
This has got to be unquestionably the saddest episode by far...and I can't begin to fathom how Ace was able to play himself in this video, Godspeed to him ♥. Thank God for modern medicine

When I was a child, I ate a chicken sandwich that was raw in the middle and got incredibly sick. That was enough to scare me for life. I always check food temps, and always am very aware of cross contamination. I follow a strict rule- if in doubt, throw it out. It's hard, especially when food is so expensive, and my family (whom I cook for) tease me all the time about my paranoia around food poisoning. But tragedies like these are so sad- I will take the teasing over the chance of making anyone I love sick. Great and informative video as always. Everyone, please take care and be safe ❤
I'm picky about food safety too. Last night I threw away a package of meatballs because the color was off. Luckily, I had another that looked normal. People I work with will eat food that's been sitting out for 5 or 6 hours and I'm like, don't call me in if yall get sick. 😅
anyone who has never had REAL food poisoning doesnt know why you dont want to get it. "its just a stomachache!" when in reality even the more mild ones will leave you in agony on the toilet for a week.
@@CynthiaMcCraw 5-6 hours is really still in the acceptable range, or at least on the edge (this is all on the absolute safest side). assuming the food was cooked properly to begin with (most food poisoning cases are a combination of BOTH, not throughly cooking the food as well as not controlling how long it has been "in the danger zone" 40f-140f. once properly cooked food reaches below 140 internally, it has about 6 hours "in the danger zone". the 6 hours ideally being used to get the food below 40f (it ideally is supposed to be below 70 in 4 iirc). as long as you are cooking your food properly and are careful not to cross contaminate, 5-6 hours is not really dangerous. reheating food past 165f is another good way to be careful, but it wont "fix" food that was already dangerous. I would mainly apply this to things you cooked yourself, because you cant trust a random restaurant to not have contaminated it or undercooked it. perfectly normal for meatballs and ground beef to oxidize (ground meat has lots of surface area for this to happen), and turn a little green even. still perfectly safe, by itself. the same will happen to steak at a slower rate. there is a point where it would affect the taste, but you would smell it long before that becomes a problem. though as a note smell has no direct bearing on dangerous bacteria being present in food.
I really hope you see this, I worked at a interactive aquarium and "zoo". The corporation did not take the complaints of the fish room employees about the leaking ozone machine after 9 hours a day for 6 months of breathing in this ozone the girl started coughing up blood and chunks of her lung. I really hope one day you do a piece on the effects of ozone poisoning.
Ooooh, I've never heard of this happening before. How did the parts of her lungs start to come up? I think what your talking about would be a blood clot that looks like a cast of her lung. She couldn't cough up parts of her lung because their wouldn't be pressure to cough with. 🤔
This is honestly one of the most horrifying videos you've posted to date. I cannot imagine how he went on with his life after losing his whole family in such a horrible and painfull way. I really felt like something was up my throat while watching this.
One thing to remember is that you should only defrost frozen items in the fridge or while cooking them, never by leaving out on the counter. If you do need to defrost something before cooking it and you don't have to do it in the fridge, then you can defrost by placing the item in a bowl and running COLD water over it until it is thawed. Never use warm or hot water for this purpose. Also, if such a need arises, consider just making something else that day and thawing the item in the fridge overnight.
Never understood how people thaw stuff in the fridge overnight. I put something there to thaw and it’s still frozen solid after 24 hours. Do people specifically set their fridge to higher temperature or something?
Apparently the mom had left the noodles out on the counter to thaw for a while because they didnt have enough room in the fridge. Freezing the noodles wasn't the problem. They were not thawed properly. Always thaw in the fridge to prevent bacteria growth.
thawing in the fridge doesnt prevent bacteria growth, the problem is she let them thaw for HOURS she, likely forgot they were on the countertop. if only she threw the leftovers out instead of reusing them. if they live the same way my gf does (she's vietnamese and her home doesnt have central air just inverters in 2 bedrooms) then the home was also likely pretty warm leading to rapid bacteria growth
leaving it to thaw on the counter isn’t the issue. if you thaw it and use it when it is thawed, it has effectively been frozen until you use it. the problem is leaving food out to thaw, and then not using it while it warms up past freezing
Yer, just buy food that you plan eat next three or four days. I have small refrigerate and I do not eat big meal as well. I go there to buy food twice a week. Give priority what I already have as I want shrimp but no one person size, only family or business size. So basically I had to eat shrimp for few days in rows before I can buy different meat. Edited: I do not cook all shrimps at once but divide them. Most of them is on freeze then by one by one it was move to refrigerate to be thawed. I do not want risk thaws it in room temperature as I do forget to cook it sometimes (I do skip meal pretty often, not my intention) so when I am ready to cook, I just take small amounts that already thawed in refrigerator which take longer to complete thawing but more safer.
Yep, my father passed away from complications of esophageal cancer when I was 12 years old, he had been sick for a while though. I cannot imagine losing my mom and twin sister.

Corn is native to the Americas, which means no one in Eurasia had access to it until the 16th century at least. It could have become a traditional food in that time period, but it's not an ancestral food. I agree that it's ironic that the only member of the family that survived was the one who ate western junk food.
Food that is full of nutrients is also delicious for bacteria. Food that is devoid of nutrition -- bacteria would literally rather starve to death than eat it
An absolute nightmare. To sit with your family, laugh, have what seemed to be a good breakfast just for later that day to lose them all and then be the sole survivor because you didn't like the texture of something is just... wild beyond anybodies imagination. The horror of sitting in the room while your entire family is passing, my heart is so heavy for them all.
If my mom or dad died, i still dont know how will i get over it, i already know i am going deep deep depression when that dark day comes, but losing all my family at once would incapacitate me for days if not weeks like stright up i might die of hunger or dehydration i would not be able to handle it
I cannot imagine how that woman would've felt knowing her funeral beer caused dozens of more funerals. I suppose it's a small mercy she never had to face that guilt...
This would be my worst nightmare. Eating a nice meal and getting along with everyone, only to get a phone call later that day in the middle of work from one of your family members in a health crisis and driving back to help. Then to arrive and find everyone else you had enjoyed the morning with are in critical condition too. Your younger siblings, along with your parents, all dying on the same day. With how quickly Ace got to the hospital, and how no one pressured him to eat the special homemade traditional meal that morning makes me feel like they were a very close family of kind people. I hope he got the support he needed to work through such a tragedy. I don't know if I could
I don’t eat other people’s food after I got severe food poisoning from a potluck. No one died, but about half of us got extremely sick. I’ve watched people cook and it’s honestly disgusting. From not washing hands, to cross contaminating utensils or surfaces, to improperly storing leftovers or ingredients etc. I watched my sister cook a noodle dish for dinner, after we ate she left it on the stovetop in the pot; I figured she was going to throw it out. That morning she threw it in the microwave and ate it and offered it to us. I tried to explain how dangerous and disgusting that is, but she said she does it all the time and they’re fine. Just picturing the bacteria multiplying for 12+ hours made me want to throw up. Ignorance is bliss, until it isn’t.
i used to have a flatmate who just straight up stored food on the stove uncovered. not only was the food never refrigerated, it was right there at a nice and cozy heat source

A young adult, originally from remote Peru, growing up in US, came to stay at our house in UK a few years ago. Meat leftovers from dinner accidentally weren't refrigerated overnight. In the morning, they were happy to eat it for breakfast and I tried to explain they shouldn't. They were used to not wasting food and money was very tight, so they couldn't understand my point. I'm sure I seemed wasteful and careless. In the end, they ate it and didn't get sick, but this story reminds us they sometimes people are lucky and others aren't. Obviously not having enough money/food is a big factor in people eating stuff when they should discard it, but also culture, tradition, how you were raised, also play a big part.
Did that for the past 2 days. Ground beef was in the fridge for ever a week. Started to get moldy. I removed the top viable mold and ate it. I'm unemployed currently. Receiving government assistance, SNAP benefits. I spent too much money to throw away meat that taste and smells normal.
That can literally unalive you. Why are you rolling the dice? You can cook the meat, freeze leftovers, and heat it back up when you're ready to eat more. Don't be so foolish and lazy...@@myhandlehasbeenmishandled
@@myhandlehasbeenmishandled It's a common mistake to think the visibly moldy part of the food can be cut off. All parts of the moldy food are equally moldy. The part that looks moldy only appears because the mold has run out of places to spread to.
as soon as i saw the all asian casting I immediately know which case it would be. Older chinese generations do this a lot, i remember growing up my grandparents would put leftover out in the open, freeze food for so long, and eat expired food (we even have specific recipe for rotten egg, which i refuse to eat) It's sad cus they got those habit from the poverty they went through.
Oh it's not just the Chinese culture but anybody who went through the depression in the United States was that bad too as a nurse who did private duty and homes Oh my God In the '80s and '90s you would find these people with crap in their refrigerators that they ate that had mold in it. It would just totally freak you out I remember going to this one house and I was trying to clean out her fridge before she would eat any of it and she grabbed this thing of Cool whip that had mold in it and she was trying to eat it saying it's still good and I'm like no it's not She says well it's not your money that got spent on it and I don't want you wasting it I cannot tell you how many of these people who grew up during the depression where people starve to death that is not something they talk about but they did. This is how bad it was in Cincinnati Ohio You slowly went from living in a house or an apartment to where you were maybe renting a room to you ended up in an abandoned car and when you no longer can pay for the space in the car he lives in a cardboard box and when you knew that you were finally at the end of your life you would walk up this hill that was a park and at the top of the hill you would lay down and you would die and then they would come and pick up your body That's how it was in Cincinnati during the Great Depression. So these people had such bad habits because they were living in destitution during the Great Depression rural people didn't suffer like the people who lived in a cities and so many people disappear during the depression who never ever showed up again they just died on the wayside You think the grapes are broth was a made-up story No that crap that's in that book is very true.
i have a philippino friend that will cook a stew-sort of dish, with rice, and leave it on the back of the stove for a whole week. when he wants some, he turns on the burner and heats it all up, eats what he wants, then lets it cool back down. FOR A WEEK. i don't know how he's still alive.

I’m an occupational first aid attendant, so I go to various places that need first aid on site but don’t have the staff for it. My first day on the job I went to a wholesale retailer and walked into a mass food poisoning case. An employee had brought old pasta to share. We ended up sending two people in an ambulance to the hospital, and I think a few that went home also drove to the hospital later. Talk about trial by fire…

@@Tyler1_ I think the actor just gave his name to the character. i mean, they most likely have chinese names and Chubbyemu doesn't use the patients real names anyway. The actual case this was based on differs from the story too, their were 12 peoples from 5 families and 9 of them died while 3 refused to eat the noodles.
This is genuinely the saddest episode I've seen here. I really hope Ace is doing even a little better now since the loss. I can't begin to imagine how horrible he feels
This was one of my two exact thoughts as well. Just, poor Ace, I cannot imagine what it would be like to be that young and bury not only your parents, but your siblings too. Here's hoping he was close to other family as well so he would have some support through all that.
That's so tragic oh my goodness, i can't imagine the pain he went through being the only surviving member of his family within a few hours, I'd be devastated
That sometimes the problem with asain cuisine and parents saying “its edible to eat” Asains, like my mother and me leave food out for 7-8 hours, either with a lid or a plastic wrap, then we’d freeze it, like CE said, even if the food is frozen, the bacteria is still on there. And that is what might kill most asains, the reason it’s low is because how antibiotic the food is. But food fermented for a year will not last.

Apparently this happens a lot in Taiwan and the doctors aren't trained to deal with it despite how common it is, think it was just 3-4 months ago it happened again.
maybe there was a reason i never touched smelly tofu in taiwan, they said it was good, but i know if it smells there is some kind of fermentation, im alive today
I live in Taiwan. They'll just give you a bag of antibiotics no matter what you come to hospital with. Persistent headache? Here's some antibiotics. Lingering cough? Here's some antibiotics. Persistent chest pain? Here's some antibiotics. And don't forget to drink warm water.
As someone with a live-in Taiwanese mother-in-law, I can say that old Taiwanese people have a lot of dangerous practices when it comes to food. I avoid her food as much as possible. My husband and I try to cook before she has the chance😂
This was one of the best heads up shows I've seen on dangerous leftovers. I love my Chinese egg noodles with shrimp. I always order extra and i always save my left overs for a later date. I've actually ate eggs noodles after they've sat in the fridge for a couple of days, but after watching this video I'll never wait any more than over night to polish them off for breakfast. This is the kind of thing that can't be appreciated enough! Thank you Chubbyemu. 👍🏼
The thumbnail suggests, the fact that the food was frozen for a year contributed to the case. But it was completely irrelevant. Similar to botulism. How the food was handled was the issue, not the freezing.
You are correct, and a news article posted elsewhere in the comments explained it was left to thaw on the kitchen counter, then eventually put into the fridge, then days later it was prepared and consumed. Even without this particular fermented corn toxin, the family would have likely suffered from food poisoning at the very least.
This is not entirely true. The duration the food was in its frozen state, is irrelevant, that it was frozen, not. The thawing process produces a lot of such cases. Not only with this toxin, but all the other food poisoning critters are known to use the time well. The only way put of this, is to heat up food while thawing, but this isn't always an option.

These cases are unbelievably tragic, a family meal is a time of bonding and imagining something so innocent stealing your whole family from you it’s just heartbreaking. I always lean towards caution, I’ve probably thrown out a lot of rice and pasta that would’ve been fine but I just cannot imagine how I would live with this.
This reminds me about the bongkrekic acid poisoning outbreak in Taiwan this March, caused by chef of a restaurant having possibly Burkholderia Gladioli contaminated rice noodles. (Possibly because all the rice noodle of the batch are sold, the investigators only be able to find the bacteria from environmental sample, and Bongkrekic acid from sample obtained from the hands of the chef) This caused a total of 30 people felt ill after eating there, of them 2 dead, 4 in critical condition, 2 remain hospitalized after a week, and the remaining 22 discharged or do not require medical attention.
Oh, posted that before watching the video to the end. So this had already been mentioned in the video, with news dated later than what I found so more people are found to be sick because of this.
I've watched many videos from this channel so far, but have I ever heard a story this devastating? Loosing entire family in a day and the fact that you are the only "survivor" ... I can't even attempt to fathom the pain. This is a great heads up to stop hoarding leftover foods in the fridge, which I often do. Time to do some cleaning.
I have a weird feeling it happened in China. A "very common family name" starting with "C" and the fact that all actors, even the doctors were asian makes me believe it happened in an area with a large enough asian population, that a group of asians all falling sick on the same day in the same area with the same symptoms doesn't suggest they are somewhat related.

Correct, never thaw food on the kitchen counter. Always thaw it in the fridge, where the food will always be lower than 5°c. That way you are sure that no bacteria have contaminated the food. If you are in a hurry, you can thaw it in a microwave oven, but make sure to cook it immediately after.

I'd ask questions about terminology i didn't fully understand, and she'd explain it in deeper detail to me. I started memorizing terms and even made a game of it. Every time you'd say a medical term we'd press pause and I'd guess the meaning of it. I was actually becoming quite good at it lol.
Overall it was just a wholesome good time.

@@phaedrapage4217Bro whiskey, unless it contains methanol, is fine. Ethanol is genuinely poison not just for us but also for bacteria. As long as it wasn't distilled by an amateur you have nothing to fear.
Alcohol was actually not just consumed in history for its properties as a drug. It was simply safer to consume than water. It was diluted making the water used for the dilution safe to drink.
Just remember not anything that's a poison for us is also a poison for bacteria. But it's easy to tell what is.
Ethanol dries things up, that's common knowledge which means it basically rips cells open.
Other examples of the same effect are sugar and salt which are also disinfectants.
No whiskey, daum.
The issue, mom likely had a lump of frozen dough which took ages to unfreeze and largely enough time for malicious bacteria to work and likely it stayed in fridge undecided if cook it or not after first dinner till she decided to hurl it to freezer.

As a scientist specializing in nutrition, I can tell you that freezing the noodles for a year was not the problem. The process of freezing prevents bacteria and food spoilage, no matter how long the food is frozen. Food in the freezer for a long time can certainly change in taste, colour and texture, but it will not give you food poisoning. This food must have had bacteria before it was put in the freezer, or it was left out to defrost and then bacteria started to grow. If is best to always defrost food in the refrigerator, even if it takes a day or two.

Cases these are the reason I'm careful about food being left outside for long periods of time! Before my stepdad moved away, I would sometimes come home to him leaving the milk out for the whole day with the excuse of it being winter so the temperatures weren't that high. One day we ate pap (A South African dish kind of like porridge) for dinner, and I already poored milk into mine. I realized that the milk was outside when I found it and asked him now long it had stood outside and he asked me if it mattered. I refused to eat it and he got really upset, but I would rather waste that bit of food then risk getting sick from it. Another time he also took out buns to eat,and I saw that it was already molding,even after being in the freezer. I asked him and my mom if they knew that it had mold, and my mom said no, but he knew, and wanted to eat it even after being completely covered in mold, as well as another time where we were at my grandparents’ house and he saw pasta in the fridge and said we should eat it, even though it was there before my grandparents left and by that time they had been gone for almost two weeks. We told him that it would be dangerous to eat it and he got angry because we were wasting food and put it on the counter. I threw it away,a rn again he got upset. He is in his 30’s and I’m literally 14 and somehow I’m more informed about food safety and care more for my health than he does and I just don’t understand how he hasn’t landed in the hospital because of this before??

Also, I suggest talking about the life cycles and reproduction of bacteria, viruses and parasites so he is aware of it.

What?
Coming from an Asian family, I know for sure that Asian parents likely don't take food safety very seriously. They often leave dishes cooked for lunch out at room temperature to be reheated for dinner 7-8 hours later with only a basket covering the top to keep flies away or leave cooked rice overnight in the rice cooker. When I tell them to put it in the fridge, they come up with excuses like how the food tastes off if it's refrigerated and then reheated or how Asians have been doing this for centuries and never had any problems. I think it might have to do with Eastern medicine having no emphasis on germs and the toxins they produce and most older Asians still trusting Eastern medicine more.
My husband is Chinese and his momma is like this. I just go behind her and refrigerate everything she leaves out lol I just tell her the cats will get it because we have three cats. lol

@@Elora445 food needs to get to at least room temperature before being put in, otherwise you're going to warm up the whole fridge
@@Elora445 please don't put hot food in the fridge or freezer. It raises the temperature of the fridge/freezer which in turn might cause the microbes to grow faster and frozen food to thaw (and it consumes more electricity). The best way to prevent microbial growth is to cool the food quickly outside the fridge and then put it in (I use cold/cooling plates meant for catering).
Whoa these last two comments are dangerously misguided. Why do people speak so adamantly about things they don't really know about?
Do NOT ever let cooked food get to "room temperature." That is the ideal temperature for food-born pathogens to grow.
It is absolutely far safer to put hot food in the fridge than it is to just let it sit out and cool down. Your fridge controls its temperature - if you put something hot in there it will simply work harder to equalize the temperature in a short period of time. It is extremely unlikely that putting hot food in the fridge will lower the temperature of anything in the fridge enough to be of concern unless you put it directly on top of or squeezed next to something else.
Best case scenario is to create an ice bath to cool down any leftovers quickly. However, simply putting them in the fridge when still warm will generally be fine.

Imagine your most hated childhood dish killing your whole family that’s so messed up man
When I was a child, I ate a chicken sandwich that was raw in the middle and got incredibly sick. That was enough to scare me for life. I always check food temps, and always am very aware of cross contamination. I follow a strict rule- if in doubt, throw it out. It's hard, especially when food is so expensive, and my family (whom I cook for) tease me all the time about my paranoia around food poisoning. But tragedies like these are so sad- I will take the teasing over the chance of making anyone I love sick. Great and informative video as always. Everyone, please take care and be safe ❤
Amen. I agree 100%. NOTHING is worth poisoning myself or others. I’ve had food poisoning a couple of times. NEVER AGAIN, I HOPE!
I'm picky about food safety too. Last night I threw away a package of meatballs because the color was off. Luckily, I had another that looked normal. People I work with will eat food that's been sitting out for 5 or 6 hours and I'm like, don't call me in if yall get sick. 😅
anyone who has never had REAL food poisoning doesnt know why you dont want to get it. "its just a stomachache!" when in reality even the more mild ones will leave you in agony on the toilet for a week.
@@CynthiaMcCraw 5-6 hours is really still in the acceptable range, or at least on the edge (this is all on the absolute safest side).
assuming the food was cooked properly to begin with (most food poisoning cases are a combination of BOTH, not throughly cooking the food as well as not controlling how long it has been "in the danger zone" 40f-140f. once properly cooked food reaches below 140 internally, it has about 6 hours "in the danger zone". the 6 hours ideally being used to get the food below 40f (it ideally is supposed to be below 70 in 4 iirc). as long as you are cooking your food properly and are careful not to cross contaminate, 5-6 hours is not really dangerous. reheating food past 165f is another good way to be careful, but it wont "fix" food that was already dangerous.
I would mainly apply this to things you cooked yourself, because you cant trust a random restaurant to not have contaminated it or undercooked it. perfectly normal for meatballs and ground beef to oxidize (ground meat has lots of surface area for this to happen), and turn a little green even. still perfectly safe, by itself. the same will happen to steak at a slower rate. there is a point where it would affect the taste, but you would smell it long before that becomes a problem. though as a note smell has no direct bearing on dangerous bacteria being present in food.
@@CynthiaMcCraw yeah, what's with people casually chowing down on break room pot luck left overs, hours later? Grosss.
I really hope you see this, I worked at a interactive aquarium and "zoo". The corporation did not take the complaints of the fish room employees about the leaking ozone machine after 9 hours a day for 6 months of breathing in this ozone the girl started coughing up blood and chunks of her lung. I really hope one day you do a piece on the effects of ozone poisoning.
Ooooh, I've never heard of this happening before. How did the parts of her lungs start to come up? I think what your talking about would be a blood clot that looks like a cast of her lung. She couldn't cough up parts of her lung because their wouldn't be pressure to cough with. 🤔

One thing to remember is that you should only defrost frozen items in the fridge or while cooking them, never by leaving out on the counter. If you do need to defrost something before cooking it and you don't have to do it in the fridge, then you can defrost by placing the item in a bowl and running COLD water over it until it is thawed. Never use warm or hot water for this purpose. Also, if such a need arises, consider just making something else that day and thawing the item in the fridge overnight.
Except my fridge is
@@Drew-Dastardly So use one of the other safe methods, or plan 3 days ahead. (And *everyone’s* fridge should be
Why not use warm water?
Never understood how people thaw stuff in the fridge overnight. I put something there to thaw and it’s still frozen solid after 24 hours. Do people specifically set their fridge to higher temperature or something?
My family has always defrosted by setting it in the sink several hours before dinner. Never thought anything of it.
Apparently the mom had left the noodles out on the counter to thaw for a while because they didnt have enough room in the fridge. Freezing the noodles wasn't the problem. They were not thawed properly. Always thaw in the fridge to prevent bacteria growth.
Perhaps also the freezer wasn't working properly and was defrozing and refrozing food
thawing in the fridge doesnt prevent bacteria growth, the problem is she let them thaw for HOURS she, likely forgot they were on the countertop. if only she threw the leftovers out instead of reusing them.
if they live the same way my gf does (she's vietnamese and her home doesnt have central air just inverters in 2 bedrooms) then the home was also likely pretty warm leading to rapid bacteria growth
leaving it to thaw on the counter isn’t the issue.
if you thaw it and use it when it is thawed, it has effectively been frozen until you use it.
the problem is leaving food out to thaw, and then not using it while it warms up past freezing
This channel has made me so careful with noodles and rice, haha. I just don't take chances with that stuff anymore.

This is why single guys usually have a fairly empty fridge. You can't mistakenly eat one year leftovers if there are no leftovers.

Yer, just buy food that you plan eat next three or four days. I have small refrigerate and I do not eat big meal as well. I go there to buy food twice a week. Give priority what I already have as I want shrimp but no one person size, only family or business size. So basically I had to eat shrimp for few days in rows before I can buy different meat. Edited: I do not cook all shrimps at once but divide them. Most of them is on freeze then by one by one it was move to refrigerate to be thawed. I do not want risk thaws it in room temperature as I do forget to cook it sometimes (I do skip meal pretty often, not my intention) so when I am ready to cook, I just take small amounts that already thawed in refrigerator which take longer to complete thawing but more safer.

Reject ancestral fermented food from the homeland, embrace potato chips. Got ya, Chubbyemu.
Don't end up like that kid who ate potato chips and fries for 10 years.
Corn is native to the Americas, which means no one in Eurasia had access to it until the 16th century at least. It could have become a traditional food in that time period, but it's not an ancestral food.
I agree that it's ironic that the only member of the family that survived was the one who ate western junk food.
corn only arrived in China in the past few centuries I'd hardly call it ancestral or important to Chinese ancestry.

I don’t eat other people’s food after I got severe food poisoning from a potluck. No one died, but about half of us got extremely sick. I’ve watched people cook and it’s honestly disgusting.
From not washing hands, to cross contaminating utensils or surfaces, to improperly storing leftovers or ingredients etc.
I watched my sister cook a noodle dish for dinner, after we ate she left it on the stovetop in the pot; I figured she was going to throw it out. That morning she threw it in the microwave and ate it and offered it to us. I tried to explain how dangerous and disgusting that is, but she said she does it all the time and they’re fine. Just picturing the bacteria multiplying for 12+ hours made me want to throw up. Ignorance is bliss, until it isn’t.
I’d send her these videos if I were you
"Ignorance is bliss until it isn't."
Truer words never spoken.

A young adult, originally from remote Peru, growing up in US, came to stay at our house in UK a few years ago. Meat leftovers from dinner accidentally weren't refrigerated overnight. In the morning, they were happy to eat it for breakfast and I tried to explain they shouldn't. They were used to not wasting food and money was very tight, so they couldn't understand my point. I'm sure I seemed wasteful and careless. In the end, they ate it and didn't get sick, but this story reminds us they sometimes people are lucky and others aren't.
Obviously not having enough money/food is a big factor in people eating stuff when they should discard it, but also culture, tradition, how you were raised, also play a big part.
Did that for the past 2 days. Ground beef was in the fridge for ever a week. Started to get moldy. I removed the top viable mold and ate it. I'm unemployed currently. Receiving government assistance, SNAP benefits. I spent too much money to throw away meat that taste and smells normal.
Food health is bs. Fermentation is bacteria, only certain types can be done at home safely. They froze bacteria and ate it when it was old.

Like before the 80’s when the entire country was extremely poor?
Oh it's not just the Chinese culture but anybody who went through the depression in the United States was that bad too as a nurse who did private duty and homes Oh my God In the '80s and '90s you would find these people with crap in their refrigerators that they ate that had mold in it. It would just totally freak you out I remember going to this one house and I was trying to clean out her fridge before she would eat any of it and she grabbed this thing of Cool whip that had mold in it and she was trying to eat it saying it's still good and I'm like no it's not She says well it's not your money that got spent on it and I don't want you wasting it I cannot tell you how many of these people who grew up during the depression where people starve to death that is not something they talk about but they did. This is how bad it was in Cincinnati Ohio You slowly went from living in a house or an apartment to where you were maybe renting a room to you ended up in an abandoned car and when you no longer can pay for the space in the car he lives in a cardboard box and when you knew that you were finally at the end of your life you would walk up this hill that was a park and at the top of the hill you would lay down and you would die and then they would come and pick up your body That's how it was in Cincinnati during the Great Depression. So these people had such bad habits because they were living in destitution during the Great Depression rural people didn't suffer like the people who lived in a cities and so many people disappear during the depression who never ever showed up again they just died on the wayside You think the grapes are broth was a made-up story No that crap that's in that book is very true.
But they survived
i have a philippino friend that will cook a stew-sort of dish, with rice, and leave it on the back of the stove for a whole week. when he wants some, he turns on the burner and heats it all up, eats what he wants, then lets it cool back down. FOR A WEEK. i don't know how he's still alive.

No!
That's so tragic oh my goodness, i can't imagine the pain he went through being the only surviving member of his family within a few hours, I'd be devastated

That sometimes the problem with asain cuisine and parents saying “its edible to eat”
Asains, like my mother and me leave food out for 7-8 hours, either with a lid or a plastic wrap, then we’d freeze it, like CE said, even if the food is frozen, the bacteria is still on there. And that is what might kill most asains, the reason it’s low is because how antibiotic the food is. But food fermented for a year will not last.

"this person made everyone uncomfortable, especially when he wore shorts"
what 💀
I want to know more about this person. Why shorts?
Sounds like more of a her problem 🙃
Fr why did bro catch a stray bc he wore shorts 💀, and why is the fact he was there even in the report. Imagine SC's in her deathbed and her last words are about how her coworker wears shorts to work and how she hates him for it
I'm so glad this was addressed 😂
Is there a lore reason for that?
1:34 I really hope im mishearing that
Fought
Me to but is not f###

I heard it too 💀💀💀
Poor Ace! We all lose our families, but not all at once! His whole support system gone! Who grieved with him?😢
Is he the same guy who had the terrible roommate?
@@DJIncendrationthe whole family died isn’t that crazy😂
@@DJIncendration No, what? These are all completely separate stories about real life incidents, the names happen to match up because he (the creator of these videos) uses an alias rather than disclosing their actual names

Apparently this happens a lot in Taiwan and the doctors aren't trained to deal with it despite how common it is, think it was just 3-4 months ago it happened again.
No one really knows how dangerous bongkrekic acid is.. This video should be played all over taiwan
Well, he said there's no antidote for BA, so I'm pretty sure there's not much a doctor could do besides play catchup with deficiencies.
maybe there was a reason i never touched smelly tofu in taiwan, they said it was good, but i know if it smells there is some kind of fermentation, im alive today
I live in Taiwan. They'll just give you a bag of antibiotics no matter what you come to hospital with. Persistent headache? Here's some antibiotics. Lingering cough? Here's some antibiotics. Persistent chest pain? Here's some antibiotics.
And don't forget to drink warm water.
As someone with a live-in Taiwanese mother-in-law, I can say that old Taiwanese people have a lot of dangerous practices when it comes to food. I avoid her food as much as possible. My husband and I try to cook before she has the chance😂
How sad for that young man losing his whole family. I hope he is doing alright ❤.
This was one of the best heads up shows I've seen on dangerous leftovers. I love my Chinese egg noodles with shrimp. I always order extra and i always save my left overs for a later date. I've actually ate eggs noodles after they've sat in the fridge for a couple of days, but after watching this video I'll never wait any more than over night to polish them off for breakfast. This is the kind of thing that can't be appreciated enough! Thank you Chubbyemu. 👍🏼
Just a reminder to hug your family, you never know when the last time you see them is
The thumbnail suggests, the fact that the food was frozen for a year contributed to the case. But it was completely irrelevant. Similar to botulism. How the food was handled was the issue, not the freezing.
You are correct, and a news article posted elsewhere in the comments explained it was left to thaw on the kitchen counter, then eventually put into the fridge, then days later it was prepared and consumed. Even without this particular fermented corn toxin, the family would have likely suffered from food poisoning at the very least.
This is not entirely true. The duration the food was in its frozen state, is irrelevant, that it was frozen, not. The thawing process produces a lot of such cases. Not only with this toxin, but all the other food poisoning critters are known to use the time well. The only way put of this, is to heat up food while thawing, but this isn't always an option.
@@goiterlanternbase or to let it unfreeze overnight in a fridge colder than
@@philipp594 Unfreezing in the fridge is indeed a solution👍
Fr. At this point i just leave nothing on the counter anymore. It goes right into the fridge or freezer the moment its cool enough to not be a problem
Man, my heart absolutely goes out to Ace here, to be the only survivor of something like that simply because you're a picky eater. And it especially hits home for me because _I'm_ an especially picky eater.
Natural selection
@@JorgeL721yer, I just will not eat one day old of hard boiled egg despite it can good for few days in refrigerator. I just require it be very fresh, just right now after cooking. Just one day make taste so bad. I just have very sensitive taste.
@@bluedarkness7125 you don't have to go to that extreme. I apologize for the crass nature of my comment. As long as you don't eat something that was fermented for a year, leave it outside of the fridge after thawing, and decide to cook and eat it, you should be quite fine. I pick on picky eaters until I realize it has a purpose in humanity.
These cases are unbelievably tragic, a family meal is a time of bonding and imagining something so innocent stealing your whole family from you it’s just heartbreaking. I always lean towards caution, I’ve probably thrown out a lot of rice and pasta that would’ve been fine but I just cannot imagine how I would live with this.
This reminds me about the bongkrekic acid poisoning outbreak in Taiwan this March, caused by chef of a restaurant having possibly Burkholderia Gladioli contaminated rice noodles. (Possibly because all the rice noodle of the batch are sold, the investigators only be able to find the bacteria from environmental sample, and Bongkrekic acid from sample obtained from the hands of the chef)
This caused a total of 30 people felt ill after eating there, of them 2 dead, 4 in critical condition, 2 remain hospitalized after a week, and the remaining 22 discharged or do not require medical attention.
Oh, posted that before watching the video to the end. So this had already been mentioned in the video, with news dated later than what I found so more people are found to be sick because of this.
I've watched many videos from this channel so far, but have I ever heard a story this devastating? Loosing entire family in a day and the fact that you are the only "survivor" ... I can't even attempt to fathom the pain. This is a great heads up to stop hoarding leftover foods in the fridge, which I often do. Time to do some cleaning.
Agreed. This one scared me more than some horror movies.
I have a weird feeling it happened in China.
A "very common family name" starting with "C" and the fact that all actors, even the doctors were asian makes me believe it happened in an area with a large enough asian population, that a group of asians all falling sick on the same day in the same area with the same symptoms doesn't suggest they are somewhat related.
@@HappyBeezerStudios they made it clear with the Asian name of the soup. Did you watch it?
@@HappyBeezerStudios It's true, and 9 people died in the real case
* losing
I was worried something happed to you because you do not upload last month but when you upload this I immediately understood why it took so long thanks for all the videos you are one of my favorite TH-camrs
The fact that the doctors doesn't immediately notice they were relatives is wild to me
They do look alike .
