Prosecutors have discovered Cheng I Food in southern Taiwan has been selling lard oil for human consumption containing animal feed oil, South China Morning Post reported, citing local media. The company is owned by Ting Hsin International Group, the parent company of Taiwan food giant Wei-Chuan, which has admitted that 12 types of its dried meat floss and meat paste were made using gutter oil bought from cooking oil company Chang Guann. Taiwan’s Central News Agency reported that the animal fed oil used by Cheng I was provided by a one-person business run by that company’s former top manager, which claimed the oil it sold was edible.
