A food processing company in China’s Henan province has admitted to selling dead ducks instead of incinerating them, as required by regulations.
The Huaying Group, a duck-breeding and slaughtering company with an annual output of eight million ducks, said it had suspended two managers and dismissed two duck breeders who sold dead ducks, China Daily said Tuesday.
Huaying Group, listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, has a worldwide sales network. Its products are sold in the domestic and overseas markets, according to its website.
The statement did not say how many dead ducks had been sold nor did it say where they ended up.
