Taipei, June 4 (CNA) Two major food service companies in Taiwan on Friday rejected accusations detailed in a Hong Kong newspaper expose that their pork products contain excessive levels of ractopamine.
Hsin Tung Yang Co. and Black Bridge Foods Co. said the pork they use is ractopamine-free domestic pork, has passed the Certified Agricultural Standards (CAS) of Taiwan s Council of Agriculture and is free from safety concerns, following a Hong Kong based-Wenweipo story the previous day.
The companies said they are considering taking legal action against the newspaper for damaging their good name.
