BEIJING authorities are probing the allegations that sausages made by a leading domestic meat producer contained maggots and caused a 2-month pregnant woman on the verge of a miscarriage.
A man surnamed Zhang bought two packs of Shuanghui brand sausages in a Wu-Mart chain store in the city's Daxing District. His pregnant sister and 8-month-old daughter began to have nausea and diarrhea after eating maggot-infested sausages.
His sister was sent to a hospital for treatment after she showed a sign of miscarriage, today's Beijing Times reported.
The Wu-Mart Daxing Store removed Shuanghui sausages from the shelves and market inspectors confiscated them as samples for testing. They were surprised to find more maggots in the seized sausages that looked normal the day before.
"There were no flies in our office. It's impossible for these maggots to grow in the sausages in 24 hours," an official told the paper.
Liu Jintao, deputy general manager of Shuanghui, said the same batch of products were tested safe before entering the market. They might be contaminated during transportation or their wrappers were broken.
He said Zhang could replace his tainted sausages but he has to prove his sister's illness was caused by the sausages if he demands more compensation.
Zhang said he is going to sue Shuanghui in court, the paper said.
