In news from and about Taiwan this morning,
The New Taipei City Department of Health says it will fine the company responsible for importing chili powder from China found to contain a carcinogenic dye 2-million N- T for violating the Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation.
According to city officials, Bao Hsin Enterprises imported chili powder containing Sudan III from China and supplied it to downstream food companies islandwide.
Officials say Bao Hsin was informed that its imported chili powder was substandard by some of those companies, but failed to take any action to initiate a product recall, which could have prevented the tainted powder from being used in food products.
The New Taipei District Prosecutors' Office took Bao Hsin head, Liu Ching-shih into custody this past weekend.
