China Closes Two Pet Food Exporters
China has revoked the business licenses of two firms that exported melamine-tainted protein products. These contaminants ended up in U.S. pet food.
The two companies — Xuzhou Anying Biotechnology Development in Jiangsu province and Bingzhou Futian Biotechnology in Shandong province — “unlawfully added melamine in some of their protein products exported to the United States”.
The business license for Taixing Glycerin Factory was also cancelled. They are accused of exporting diethylene glycol that ended up in Panamanian medicines.
