Couple detained for adding poppy ingredient to hotpot
Print Edition
A husband and wife have been detained for putting poppy capsules into ingredients for hotpot soup at Chuanji Malatang restaurant on Huafa Road in Xuhui District, police said yesterday.
The suspects, who come from Shandong Province, are the restaurant owner’s parents. They admitted they had brought the poppy capsules from their hometown to Shanghai, believing that hotpot tasted better with the capsules, which in turn would attract more diners.
Police said investigation began after a woman had tested morphine positive in a urine test this month but who had denied taking drugs. She had dined on the day of the test at Chuanji Malatang.
The restaurant’s business licenses were in order, police added.
