CHINA company caught again!
SHANGHAI, CHINA — Earlier today it was announced that exports from Maling Food Co., one of China's best-known food makers, were halted after Hong Kong authorities said they found unsafe chemicals in canned luncheon meat, according to the Associated Press.
The Shanghai-based processor has since said it had sent top executives to Hong Kong to assist with an investigation into allegations that a shipment of its meat, which is about as famous in China as Spam is in the United States, was contaminated with the antibiotic nitrofurans, which is thought to cause cancer.
In recent days Chinese officials have vowed to tighten controls on food processors, slaughterhouses and other suppliers to help improve safety. China also recently closed more than 6,000 slaughterhouses and created a database of 23,052 slaughter facilities across the country as part of its campaign to improve food safety, the report added.
