Guangzhou Municipal Government's Detection of Rice Storage in Cadmium Over-producing Areas

On February 27th, after the media exposed the inflow of heavy metal cadmium over rice into the Guangdong market, Guangzhou Mayor Chen Jianhua made the above request.

The Guangzhou municipal government has already convened meetings of relevant departments to study the deployment of related disposals. The municipal government requested that relevant departments should strengthen the supervision of all aspects of rice from the field to the table, organize inspections of all processing companies using rice as raw materials in the administrative area of ​​Guangzhou, and store the rice from the cadmium exceeding production area first. It can be circulated or used only after it has been tested for safety. The test results must be announced to the public.

The Guangzhou Municipal Government said that the relevant authorities are looking for media reports of Shenzhen City Food Group Co., Ltd.'s purchase of cadmium-excess imported rice in Guangzhou in 2009. It is hoped that the masses will actively report clues to the food safety authorities.

Shenliang Group was exposed that “the tens of thousands of tons of rice consumed in Hunan in 2009 had exceeded the national standard for heavy metals, and Shen Liang Group only returned more than 100 tons of Xiangtan rice. The others were treated at reduced prices,” but Shenliang Group denied it on that day.

In addition to the Shenzhou Food Group, Zhujiang Beer (002461.SZ) and Guangzhou Kingspie Rice Noodle Products Co., Ltd. were also recruited in this incident.

Liu Yong, chief director of the Zhujiang Beer Office, told reporters on the phone on the 28th that as a listed company, Zhujiang Beer needed to issue an announcement through the Shenzhen Stock Exchange before it could release the news to the media. Zhujiang Beer has set up an investigation team to investigate the matter.

Zhujiang Beer released “2012 Annual Results Express” at the “Spire of the Wind” on the evening of the 27th. In 2012, the company’s operating income was 3.475 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 2.47%, and the net profit attributable to listed companies was 510.563 million yuan, an increase from the same period last year. 1.76%.
