A major gelatin producer in northwest China was accused of making edible gelatin from bones sorted by waste recycling stations.
The Qinghai Gelatin Company in Qinghai Province always had a shortage of animal bones. Its top five suppliers contributed only 21.87 percent of its raw materials, according to the company's 2011 business report.
A local resident said many of the animal bones used by the company were bought from waste recycling stations and from restaurants, a report on 21chb.cn said.
The company was also accused of discharging waste water illegally. Residents said the company built hidden pipes to discharge industrial sewage into ditches, causing the ground water to turn rancid. Neighbors dare not open windows in summer.
The company, China's biggest gelatin producer, has an annual output of about 5,000 tons. About 70 percent of its gelatin goes to the pharmaceutical industry; the rest is used in food.
