Companies fined over 2014 meat scandal
Print Edition
FAST-FOOD chain supplier Shanghai Husi Food Co and parent OSI Group China have been fined more than 24 million yuan (US$3.6 million) for producing and selling inferior products in an out-of-date meat scandal in 2014, the city’s market watchdogs said yesterday.
Husi was fined 16.98 million yuan and had its food production license revoked by the Jiading Market Supervision and Management Bureau. Its food products and illegal profits were confiscated.
OSI China was fined 7.3 million yuan and given a warning by the Xuhui Market Supervision and Management Bureau.
Husi and those involved in the case will be blacklisted, authorities said.
City regulations state that individuals on the blacklist will be banned from food production and management for five years, while companies face restrictions in areas such as credit and land use.
Husi’s food processing plant in Jiading District has been raided by officials from the Shanghai Food and Drug Administration following a TV program accusing it of using out-of-date and substandard meat.
Shanghai Husi was found to have supplied substandard meat products to fast food companies McDonald’s, KFC and Burger King.
Ten employees of OSI and its Husi units in Shanghai and north China’s Hebei Province were jailed for up to three years in February this year and the two units fined 1.2 million yuan each for using recycled meat.
In July, Shanghai No. 3 Intermediate People’s Court dismissed Husi’s appeal, upholding the original sentence.
The market supervision and management bureaus then began the procedure of administrative punishment, officials said.
