Criz - I am scared too as i also love seaweed.
Anonymous - I have the same brand of seaweed at home and it is not rough or bumpy after you soak it.
He said dried seaweed product should appear bumpy when soaked in water. It should have a rough surface and strong smell. - Quoted in The Nation
Which organization or party should we contact to test on the product?
