JJ Lin said that Taiwan's Pingtung prosecutor received a report more than two months ago, saying that this factory in Changzhi Township had suspected of dealing with dead pigs. Taiwan's Pingtung prosecutor went to search on the 9th and found that the factory collected the scraps of chickens and ducks and sold them to three downstream objects for feed oil or animal feed. According to preliminary investigation, the scraps collected by the operator did not flow into the market for food.
However, because the operator did not have a waste removal license and violated the waste cleaning law, the Taiwan Pingtung prosecutor sent a message to the operator and one employee and paid NT$60,000 and NT$30,000 after being sent to the insurance.
The relevant environmental protection department also pointed out today that the operator named Hou of this factory confessed that the waste food seized on site was purchased from the food factory and stored in three parts, sold to pig farms for use or as dog feed, bones were sent to the chemical plant, and chicken skin was sold to the feed oil manufacturing plant. In addition, the operator has not obtained a clearance license document and is not a legal transportation operator, and the waste that is announced and reused is not allowed in accordance with the law; the operator also confessed that occasionally he would go to a certain vegetable market to carry chicken vendors to abandon chicken skin, and these behaviors will be punished in accordance with the violation of the Waste Cleanup Law.
Environmental protection department said that during the investigation of the entire case, some people circulated on the Internet that killed chickens were processed into chicken nuggets and chicken chops. After investigation, it is not true. Please do not panic. There are no doubts about food safety.
The health department went to an sheep house in Zhutian Township, one of the downstream operators to investigate and found that the scraps purchased by the owner of the sheep house were indeed used to raise dogs. As for the chicken nuggets purchased by the operator in the sheep house from a food factory in Tainan, JJ Lin said that the chicken nuggets from a food factory in Tainan have nothing to do with this case.
