The K-M-T says those responsible for any delayed reporting, withholding
information or supervisory failures in the recent soybean oil case should be
held accountable.

The party's legislative caucus Secretary-General Lin Pei-hsiang says the
Cabinet needs to disclose information concerning how much of the soybean oil
that failed safety inspections was stored at Central Union Oil Corporation ..

.. as well as its full distribution trail, including whether it was sealed,
recalled or destroyed.

Lin is also demanding to know when the Cabinet and the Ministry of Economic
Affairs first became aware of the issue and why it was not fully disclosed at
a food safety briefing.

This comes after Taiwan Sugar Corporation was accused of knowing as early as
May that oil from Central Union was problematic but responded by returning it
to the supplier without notifying the authorities.

Taiwan Sugar has denied any wrongdoing - saying it never took delivery of or
used the crude soybean oil in question because samples it tested before
purchase failed safety inspections... and as a result it had no obligation to
report the matter.
