Chinese food regulators in Beijing on Wednesday gave Japan the green light after going through evidence that no contaminated meat had been shipped into their borders. Last month’s discovery of a Husi plant clearly breaking food safety protocol eventually caused a ripple effect, resulting in Hong Kong and Japan banning all Shanghai Husi imports. In Japan, this caused the sales of McDonald’s to drop 15% in the month of July and FamilyMart to dispose of all their Husi chicken products.
Tokyo’s Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry were
told that Husi separated their export products from those that were meant for
domestic sale, keeping them in different storage locations. Husi employees
though had produced both domestic and export goods on the same production line.
