A Costco member in Taichung found a lump of black insect-like creatures in a bottle of rum, causing him to vomit uncontrollably. After receiving complaints, DPP Taichung City Councillor Huang Shou-da publicly shared the disturbing incident, suggesting that it's not likely an isolated case. Following the incident, the Taichung City Government's Financial Bureau inspected the store, took samples for testing, and ordered all the identified rum bottles to be removed from shelves for examination. If violations are confirmed, penalties could range from over 200,000 to under 2 million New Taiwan Dollars under the Tobacco and Alcohol Administration Act. Costco also responded by urging concerned members to contact their customer service center or visit the store counter. The incident has sparked public outrage and discussions online.
