Print Edition
A MAJOR pork producer has closed its factory in Dezhou, a city in east China鈥檚 Shandong Province, after claims it was using pigs that had recovered from foot and mouth disease.
鈥淲e have paid high attention to the news report. We have decided to suspended operation of our Dezhou factory and sealed all of the products there to assist investigation,鈥 Shandong-based Jinluo Meat Product Co Ltd said in a statement.
On Wednesday, a news program on China Central Television claimed that the pigs Jinluo had bought were those that had recovered from the disease. However, any animals that had been infected should have been isolated, killed and the bodies disposed of safely.

Yu told the program that he had never issued such certificates, and also said the town didn鈥檛 have a pig farm called Fangzhuang.
