Dumpling sabotage reports at Chinese factory ’subjective guesswork’ - (Chinadaily)
February 13, 2008 – 7:18 pmReports that dissatisfied Chinese workers deliberately contaminated dumplings sickening 10 Japanese are “mere subjective guesswork”, China’s quality watchdog said on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Japanese wire service Kyodo said the food poisoning in Japan caused by China-made frozen dumplings was likely committed by a person or persons with a grudge against the management.
“Local police confirmed that they found nothing unusual in the producing process,” Wei Chuanzhong, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) deputy chief, told a news conference.
Hebei Province dumpling-maker Tianyang Food Plant has been exporting to Japan for 10 years and the Chinese workers are very friendly to the country, he said.
