Firm in pet food case mislabeled exports
|
|
The front of the Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology Development Co, near Xuzhou, China, is seen on April 11. The company is one of two Chinese firms at the center of the huge recall of pet food that has killed or sickened thousands of animals. It shipped hundreds of tonnes of wheat gluten labeled as nonfood products this year through a third-party Chinese textile company. The company avoided inspections partly because it did not correctly disclose its shipping contents to Chinese export authorities, US regulators have said.
