China Detains Suspect in Melamine Eggs Case
The owner of a Chinese feed factory suspected of adding melamine to its product which turned up in tainted eggs has been detained.
Chinese eggs came under the
spotlight after Hong Kong food safety authorities found tainted eggs
produced by Hanwei Group in the northeastern port city of Dalian in
Liaoning province. The Public Security Bureau in Shenyang, capital of
Liaoning, announced on Tuesday that the melamine, found in eggs of
Hanwei Group, came from poultry feed, Xinhua news agency said.
Police had "criminal detained" Gao Xingtao, the owner
of Shenyang Mingxing Feed Factory, which sold 212 tonnes of tainted
feed to Hanwei, it added.
