City stores remove food made in Taiwan
Print Edition
THOUSANDS of packs of food made in Taiwan have been removed from Shanghai stores because of links to the island’s tainted oil scandal, the city’s food and drug administration said yesterday.
It had ordered all enterprises in the city to check products from Taiwan and this was done on Sunday and Monday, it said, adding that about 8,700 packs or bags of food had been removed from sale.
The watchdog said that businesses must be able to provide evidence that their products don’t contain tainted oil from Chang Guann Co, the company which was revealed last week to have bought recycled oil from an unlicensed plant to produce 782 tons of lard supplied to food companies and restaurants.
More than 1,000 food companies and restaurants in Taiwan are said to have been involved in the scandal so far.
“Since the tainted lard oil from Chang Guann Co hasn’t been imported to the mainland, our major targets of inspection is food made in Taiwan and sold in Shanghai,” said Gu Zhenhua, the city FDA’s vice director.
“Our targets are all 235 Taiwan food companies and restaurants buying lard oil from Chang Guann which are on a list from the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and other Taiwan companies named in media reports as having purchased the tainted oil,” Gu said.
“The food can’t be put back on the shelf until producers and retailers can testify that it doesn’t contain tainted lard oil from Chang Guann.”
