Tingxin sank into the black heart oil incident, and its brands such as Master Kong were boycotted
Taiwan’s Ting Hsin Group’s three "black heart oil" incidents were not quelled by the resignation of Wei Yingchong, one of the four brothers of the Ting Hsin Group’s controller. As many consumers lose confidence in the Ting Hsin Group, a campaign to boycott the Ting Hsin Group has been launched in Taiwan. The Ting Hsin Group's brands such as Weiquan, Dicos, and Master Kong may suffer a major impact. Not only Taiwan, but also the mainland, Hong Kong and other places are also banning related products of Ting Hsin Group.
Recently, Taiwanese prosecutors discovered that Ting Hsin's Zhengyi Company used feed oil mixed with edible lard. According to the investigation, Zhengyi Company purchased animal feed oil mixed with edible lard from Xinhao Company to make "Weili Fresh Fragrance Oil", "Weili Xiang Lard", "Justice Xiang Lard", 15 kg drums of lard Such products are sold to downstream bakery manufacturers, vendors and chain stores.
Zhu Yi, associate professor of China Agricultural University, compared Taiwan’s feed oil and edible oil standards and found that there are many more detailed and stricter standards for edible oil. The main difference lies in the difference in raw materials. The raw materials for edible oil must be made from healthy ones. Pork is boiled without disease, and certain organs such as skin, tail, bones, etc. cannot be boiled. The source of the pork parts used for boiling is clearly defined. There is no such strict restriction on feed oil. In addition, feed There is no standard for heavy metal detection with oil. From the hazard point of view, if it is mixed in a small amount, the amount is very small and will not cause immediate harm. If it is consumed too much, it will cause harm. Although this harm is potential and the risk of harm to the body is still very low, the government and consumers must have zero tolerance for this practice.
After the incident, Ting Hsin Group took a series of rescue measures. The "feed oil" incident is mainly involved in the Ting Hsin Group's Justice Company announced on its official website that it has stopped using problematic raw materials to produce related products, and preventively remove and recycle related lard products. Wei Yingchong also resigned as chairman of Weiquan Company, Ting Hsin Oil Company, and Zhengyi Company. Wei Yingchong also stated that the Ting Hsin Oil and Zhengyi Oil Plants will be closed until food safety is improved. Ironically, Taiwan's prosecutors stated that the prosecutors had already ordered the factories involved to shut down, rather than the Ting Hsin Group voluntarily shutting down.
The series of measures taken by the Ting Hsin Group have not won the sympathy of the people. On the contrary, they have triggered a boycott of the Ting Hsin Group in Taiwan and other parts of the mainland. You know, in just one year, Ting Hsin Group has broken out three consecutive black heart oil incidents. When the strong crown fragrant lard storm was exposed last month, the company's Weiquan was involved, but it was exempted from penalties due to proactive notification and early removal of related products. At the end of last year, Datong Changji Foods Company was found to have added copper chlorophyll and counterfeit pure oil to many products, and Datong Changji’s customer list was impressively listed.
After the feed oil incident, a large-scale boycott of top new products occurred in Taiwan. Taiwan’s largest consumer rights protection organization, the Taiwan Consumer Foundation, called on consumers to boycott all products and services of the Ting Hsin Group and gave the industry the most severe warning. Zhang Zhigang, chairman of the Consumer Foundation, said that after the Datong Oil turmoil, Ting Hsin fell into the rotten water oil and this feed oil. He has been on the list three times in a row and has no ability to introspect.
Subsequently, there have been several rare collective boycotts of related products of the Ting Hsin Group in Taiwan. At present, government departments, politicians and social groups in many places are participating in the boycott of all products under the Ting Hsin Group. For example, on October 10th, Lin Yihua, Director of the Education Bureau of Taipei City Government, issued a statement stating that in view of the repeated incidents of major food safety violations by Ting Hsin Group and Weiquan Company, since October 13, the supply of Weiquan dairy products in Taipei City Primary Schools has been suspended. , Schools, social education institutions and school cooperatives affiliated to the Education Bureau of Taipei City Government have suspended the sale of all products of Tingxin and Weiquan.
The Food Safety Center of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government recently stated that after a risk assessment, the center has banned all animal-derived cooking oil produced in Taiwan from importing and selling in Hong Kong, and merchants holding related products should immediately stop and stop selling. Since the 8th, the Food Safety Center of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department of the Special Administrative Region Government has sealed a total of about 200 tons of animal-derived cooking oil imported from Taiwan.
The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine also issued a notice on the 11th that since 2013, the mainland has not imported edible lard fat from Taiwan, and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has suspended imports of other edible oils from Taiwan’s "Justice Company". And yesterday, Xiamen Customs also returned a batch of goods back to Taiwan. The reporter learned that this batch of returned products of the involved enterprises had a total of 13 containers, 19750 boxes, and a total weight of 256 tons, all of which were beverages and soy sauce from Taiwan Weiquan Company.
Gu Shangwu, deputy general manager of the Catering Business Development Division of Ting Hsin Group, said that as far as he knows, the oil and fat raw materials used in the mainland are not from Taiwan. The impact of Taiwan Dicos' suspected use of justice feed oil on mainland stores is not yet clear.
According to the official website of Ting Hsin Group, there are many well-known brands under the Ting Hsin Group, such as Dicos, Weiquan, Family Mart, and Master Kong. Although the main problem is the edible oil company, the sibling companies are also suffering from the food companies, especially large food companies. The group sounded a wake-up call. Zhu Yi told reporters: "Although the products of Ting Hsin Group returned by the Mainland Customs are not oil-related products, these products are produced or supervised by subsidiaries of the Ting Hsin Group. Therefore, this approach is also to minimize food safety risks. "
