In a public notice released on Monday morning, the company referred to media reports saying that samples from three batches of its pork-filled dumplings had tested positive for the nucleic acid associated with African swine fever. The samples were collected in the Xiangxi Tujia and Miao autonomous prefecture in Hunan province and Jiuquan in Gansu province. The company immediately reached out to market regulators and sealed all affected batches, including those already dispatched to its sales channels. The provincial government of Henan has sent an investigative team led by the provincial Department of Animal Husbandry to Hunan and Gansu provinces to look into the matter, according to the notice. The notice said the company operates a complete system for food safety and product tracing. In addition to requiring qualified pork suppliers to strengthen their tests and inspections, the company is also implementing better examinations and measures that help control the African swine fever, it said. According to a leaked report circulated online last week, sample tests on pork products from 11 manufactures, including the Sanquan Foods, returned positive results for African swine fever. The agriculture authorities in Gansu province confirmed the incidence over the weekend. upcycle silicone braceletsrubber band wristband makerpersonalized wristbands canadaextra large silicone wristbandsrubber wristbands
Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman of Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council. [Photo/Chinanews.com] A mainland spokesman for Taiwan affairs said the island's leader Tsai Ing-wen's speech on Wednesday showed the sinister intention to cooperate with anti-China forces in the West to curtain the mainland. Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman with the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said that Tsai's speech, which was full of separatist remarks and an anti-mainland mindset, will further worsen cross-Straits relations and will bring Taiwan into a more dangerous situation. The pro-independence of Tsai's remarks, according to Ma, shows her sinister intention to help suppress the Chinese mainland with anti-China forces in the West. In her speech, Tsai said that the mainland has stepped up military threats and diplomatic suppression to the island. She said that the island's security will be strengthened to cope with increasing threats from the mainland.
