Japan side 'to blame' for tainted foodstuffs

The alleged contamination of Chinese-made frozen stuffed buns and
fried pork rolls exported to Japan was likely to have been caused by
loopholes at two Japanese wholly funded producers, China's top quality
watchdog said on Friday.
Japanese media reported on Tuesday that methamidophos, a pesticide,
was detected in two batches of frozen steamed stuffed buns from China.
Another pesticide, phorate, was also found in a batch of Chinese-made
fried pork rolls.
However, investigations found the two firms involved - Shandong Nicky
Foods Company and Qingqing Nicky Foods Company - are both wholly owned
subsidiaries of Nicky Foods Company in Osaka, Japan, the General
Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine
(AQSIQ) said in a statement.
The administration said the companies followed Japanese production
procedures and standards, and were supervised by Japanese staff.
"The contamination is likely to have been caused by loopholes in the
producers' purchase of raw materials such as vegetables," it said,
indicating the companies might have bought from suppliers other than
designated export-oriented farms.
Meanwhile, another AQSIQ statement released on Friday said China had
suspended all exports from the Shandong-based Wangyu Aquatic Food
Company, whose mackerel products exported to Japan were allegedly
contaminated with dichlorvos.
However, it said the mackerel were originally caught in Denmark and
all flavorings except salt were provided by the Japanese importer.
Local quality authorities in Shandong also tested 18 samples from the
factory, including all raw materials and packages, but found no traces
of pesticide, according to AQSIQ.
These alleged contamination incidents, along with a food poisoning
case claimed to have been caused by unsafe frozen dumplings from China
two weeks ago, have sparked safety scares in Japan over Chinese-made
food products.
Both nations have pledged to cooperate in investigating these cases to
avoid damaging diplomatic relations.
AQSIQ said on Friday that a team of senior Chinese police officers,
including top criminal investigator Wu Guoqing and toxicologist Wang
Guiqiang, had arrived in Japan on Wednesday to help investigate the
dumpling case.
