A LEADINING pharmaceutical company in China was exposed to purchase 1.62 million tons of swill oil to produce a major intermediate for antibiotics, which has been widely used on domestic market.
Jiaozuo Joincare Biological Product Co Ltd in Henan Province, subsidiary of Joincare Pharmaceutical Group Co Ltd, spent 145 million yuan (US$22.82 million) between 2010 and July 2011 on "swill oil" - digouyou in Chinese - oil ladled from drains near restaurants, prosecutors said.
The dirty deal came under the spotlight as part of the nation's first case on swill oil making and selling being heard in Ningbo in Zhejiang Province, People's Daily reported today.
Prosecutors said Jiaozuo Joincare was the biggest customer of Henan Huikang Grease Co Ltd, which bought massive swill oil, blended it with good-quality oil and sold to others as raw materials.
Jiaozuo Joincare bought the swill oil at 8,950 yuan per ton, nearly 2,000 yuan less than the market price, prosecutors said.
