【新唐人2014年07月23日讯】日前,隶属美国企业的“上海福喜食品公司”被曝向“麦当劳”、“肯德基”等国际知名快餐连锁店,供应过期变质,甚至发霉、发臭的肉类。消息一出,引起哗然。下面一起去了解。
7月20号,上海《东方卫视》披露,记者伪装成工人,在“上海福喜食品公司”卧底2个多月,拍下问题肉品加工过程。上个月18号,这个工厂用18吨过期半个月的冷冻鸡皮和鸡胸肉,制成“麦克鸡块”。上个月11号,“必胜客”的小牛排更是以10吨过期7个月的发霉发绿臭肉制成,但经加工处理,保存期“自动”延长1年。
报导说,中国大陆至少有15家连锁餐厅及店铺品牌受到牵连,其中包括麦当劳、肯德基、必胜客、7-11便利店、星巴克等。
20号晚间,上海市食品药品监管部门表示,已查封“上海福喜食品公司”,并要求上海所有“肯德基”、“麦当劳”等问题产品全部下架。
上海食品药品监督管理局新闻办人员:“它比较隐蔽吧,现在正在查,它满复杂的,原材料很多环节,现在正在查,公安都介入了。联合调查组现在在查。”
“上海福喜”公司相关责任人在被调查组约谈时承认,使用过期原料,是公司多年来的一贯政策,并表示,“问题操作”是由公司高层指使。
北京时政观察人士华颇:“以前传统的中国社会,这种事情很少发生,因为中国还有一个传统道德,毛泽东把中国的传统道德一律抹杀,邓小平强调一切向钱看,在这种情况下,中国人民已经没有任何礼义廉耻,中国现在既没有法治,又没有道德,发生这个事情,我一点都不奇怪。”
大陆《第一财经日报》引述“福喜”公司职员的话披露,“麦当劳”等企业常来工厂抽查,但多数都是做样子,来之前会通知工厂,工厂会立即将违规产品暂时清理掉,等检查结束后再拿出来重新生产。
有网友表示,只有在中国,“麦当劳”和“肯德基”才敢如此漠视生命,也有网友认为,问题出在供应商身上,根子是政府食品质检部门失职。
一名跨国食品企业前高管向媒体表示,“上海福喜”只是倒霉被发现了,被曝光的只是冰山一角。
据了解,“上海福喜食品”隶属美国“福喜集团”(OSI Group),是全球最大肉类与蔬菜加工商。有网友表示:在国外它是百分百安全!来国内一个接一个都出事!果然是近朱者赤,近墨者黑!
华颇:“乡随俗吧,这个洋企业,为什么在国外就老老实实的,不敢有任何越轨的行为,首先人家道德环境不允许,而且人家有严苛的法治来制裁它,人家的管理机制上也不允许它出现这种事情。中国不一样了,外企在国外不敢行贿官员,可是在中国,它却大肆行贿,因为中国政治环境、社会环境就是如此,所以它要想在这个环境生存,就是如此。”
据报导,22号中午,一家位于上海“仁济医院”东院附近的“肯德基”餐厅,顾客依然需要排长队购买。一名正在排队的中年妇女表示,因为医院附近没有其他相对干净的餐饮店。也有网民表示,连“麦当劳”都出问题了,中国还有什么餐馆能让人放心?
华颇:“中国社会一点毒食品算什么,这间洋企还能克制,比中国的食品还要安全多了,肉质变质,它没给你搁点化学食品,就算对得起你,这条新闻在中国不算什么新闻,小巫见大巫,只不过是一些狭隘的民族主义,或者是一些有利益冲突的人在炒作吧。”
21号,“福喜集团”美国总部发表道歉声明,并表示已成立调查小组配合中国调查。网友除痛骂业者没良心外,也有人质疑事件不单纯。

Expired Rotten Meat Provided By Shanghai Foreign
Company Sparks Hot Debate
Recently, Shanghai Husi Food company, a subsidiary of a US
Company, was exposed supplying expired rotten or even
mouldy and smelly meat to famous international fast food
companies including McDonald’s and KFC.
This information caused an uproar.
Let’s take a look together.
July 20, Shanghai Dragon TV aired a film of the processing
of questionable meat with its reporter under cover
as a worker in Husi for two months.
June 18, they used 18 tons of frozen chicken skin and chicken
breast, 2 weeks out of date, to make Chicken
McNuggets.
June 11, Pizza Hut even used 10 tons of mouldy meat
seven months out of date to process into its steak.
The shelf life was automatically extended for one year.
The report said at least 15 chain restaurants and stores
are implicated in China, including McDonald’s, KFC, Pizza
Hut, 7-Eleven convenience stores, Starbucks, and others.
On July 20 evening, Shanghai Food and Drug Administration
said they closed down the Shanghai Husi Food Company.
They also requested all Shanghai KFC, and McDonald’s to remove
all questionable products.
Shanghai Food and Drug Administration Office staff: “it’s
very hidden and complicated due to so many raw materials.
The investigation is going on now and the police are involved
as well."
Shanghai Husi Food Company representative acknowledged
when talking to the investigation team that it is consistent
company policy to use the expired raw materials.
He also said the company executives instructed the “problem
operation":meaning they were to go ahead and use the stuff.
Beijing political watcher Hua Po: “It rarely happened
in traditional Chinese society before because there was
a traditional morality.
Mao Zedong denied traditional morality; Deng Xiaoping stressed
putting money above everything.
In this case, the Chinese people have no sense of propriety,
justice, honesty and honour.
I am not surprised it happened because there is no legal
or moral sense in China now."
Mainland First Financial Daily quoted Husi staff’s words that
McDonald’s and other companies came for random
spot checks; but they were mostly posturing.
They will notify the factory beforehand.
The factory would set aside the illegal products temporarily.
The illegal products will be processed after the investigation.
Some netizen said that only in China, McDonald’s and KFC
dare to ignore life.
Other netizen said the problem is from the supplier; the basic
reason is the government food quality inspection department’s
dereliction of duty.
A former executive of an international food company told the
media that Husi is just a case of bad luck.
The exposure of Husi was just a tip of the iceberg.
Husi food is owned by OSI Group, the world’s
largest meat and vegetable processor.
Some netizens said: It is absolutely safe in a foreign country!
But in China, they have problems one after another.
It’s really if you live with a lame person you will learn to limp!
Hua Po: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Why dare not the international companies have any deviant
behavior?
First their moral environment does not allow it, besides,
there is a legal system for punishment along
with the managerial mechanism.
It’s different in China because the foreign company dare not
bribe officials in another country; but they can do it in China.
They have to do it to survive under the regime’s political
and social environment.”
According to the report, July 22, the customers still
need to wait in a long queue to buy in KFC which is close
to Shanghai Renji Hospital.
A middle-aged woman in the queue said there’s no other
relatively clean restaurants close to the hospital.
Some netizen questioned if there is any restaurant
can be trusted in China when even McDonald’s has a problem.
Hua Po: “some poison food means nothing in China.
The foreign company’s food is much safer than Chinese food.
Although the meat is rotten, it’s still not too bad since there is
no chemical product in it.
It’s not a big deal in China.
This news is small in China but hyped by some narrow
nationalists or people who have a conflict of interest."
July 21, the U.S. headquarters of Husi group, OSI, issued an
apology statement and said an investigation team has been
set up to co-operate with the Chinese investigation.
In addition to scolding the companies’ lack of conscience,
the netizens also suspect that it is not simple.
