A BRANCH of China's leading meat processor Yurun Group has been shut down temporarily after it was caught selling inferior pork to dealers.
Weinan Shengqin Meat Processing Co in Weinan City, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, has been ordered to halt production for 60 days and recall substandard pork.
All meat products have been sealed off for spot checks as the firm is investigated by a task force led by the Weinan government, Chinese Business View reported yesterday.
A report must be submitted to the provincial government next week, and a citywide crackdown has been launched in Weinan to trace and destroy substandard products.
The punishment came after the meat processor was exposed in January getting back a truckload of pork with toxic lymph nodes that had been confiscated by the commerce bureau in the city's Chengcheng County and reselling it.
Wang Hongzhang, head of the bureau's inspection team, said Weinan Shengqin had promised to dispose of the pork themselves.
"We were cheated by the company," Wang said.
Other violations by Weinan Shengqin were uncovered during an investigation by the newspaper in June.
Animal inspection officials seldom visited the factory, while the company's staff could affix stamps to say they had passed inspections on the pork whenever they wanted.
