McDonald鈥檚 supplier gets record fine
Print Edition
A Beijing company that supplies fries to McDonald鈥檚 has been fined a record 3.9 million yuan (US$629,000) for water pollution, the city鈥檚 environmental watchdog said yesterday.
The penalty imposed on Beijing Simplot Food Processing Co Ltd 鈥 a joint venture of US agribusiness giant JR Simplot Co, McDonald鈥檚 and Beijing Agricultural, Industrial and Commerce General Co 鈥 is the largest fine meted out by Beijing for pollution to date.
In November, inspectors found the chemical oxygen demand in waste water discharged by the company reached 563 milligrams per liter, exceeding the allowed limit of 500.
Officials immediately blocked the company鈥檚 sewage pipes and ordered it to transport its waste water to a processing plant.
The pollution is said to have occurred when Beijing Simplot was upgrading its sewage treatment facilities.
