4.9 tons of food linked to Taiwan oil scandal seized

AUTHORITIES in the coastal city of Xiamen has found 4.9 tons of food connected to tainted lard produced in Taiwan, inspection and quarantine authorities said yesterday.

An official with the entry-exit inspection and quarantine bureau of Xiamen said the port did not import tainted lard from Taiwan oil suppler Chang Guann Co, but found 3.2 tons of pork products, such as meat sauce, and 1.7 tons of snacks, including butter biscuits, that allegedly contained the tainted lard.

The bureau requested that importers recall and seize the related products.

Inspection and quarantine authorities in Wenzhou, east China’s Zhejiang Province, also seized 60kg of food on Wednesday, allegedly in connection with the tainted lard, including noodles, beef and sunflower seeds, which were returned to the exporters or destroyed.
