New food safety scandal sparks outrage in China Chinese - TopicsExpress

New food safety scandal sparks outrage in China Chinese Internet users have been left fuming after a famous #hotpot restaurant in Hangzhou was shut down amid allegations that it served recycled food to its customers. The restaurant, Lamatou, came under fire following an undercover media report, aired on a local TV station. The report, which aired on Tuesday, showed chefs asking waiters to recycle food left behind by customers as well as mixing additives to the hotpot soup. The restaurant initially denied the allegations, but a day later, one of its managers apologized, saying that they would close down for three days to improve the workflow. Lamatou is part of a large food company established in 2001 in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. There are more than 20 branches of the restaurant across China, according to the firm’s website. The scandal comes amidst growing concerns over food safety in China, particularly with the central government acknowledging the difficulties in regulating tainted products. On social media, the reaction to the scandal was swift and angry. Many weibo users lashed out against the practices of restaurants, with one arguing that, “When I dine out, I tell myself food is safe as long as I don’t see any rotten or strange things in my dishes. If I want safe food, I’ll cook at home.” Confidence in China’s food industry has been low after a string of high-profile scandals over the recent years, with questions being raised over products as diverse as baby formula and meat. Reacting to the concerns, Chinas top food watchdog, the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA), issued a grim warning and pledged stronger oversight on Wednesday. “We must soberly recognize that the current foundations of Chinas food and drug safety are still weak, with new and old risks together creating a grim situation,” the CFDA said. It vowed to increase active regulation to prevent food and drug safety scares, with more on-site inspections, random tests and unannounced visits.
