Changyu controversies

Wine pesticide residue report sparks controversy; subsequent data did not support exceedance conclusion

In August 2012, a report by Securities Market Weekly on pesticide residues in wines it submitted for testing sparked quality controversy for Changyu. The company denied exceeding limits; subsequent public testing data were below the limit standards cited in the report, and the original media outlet said it did not claim limits were exceeded. This entry records the testing report and clarification process, and does not determine that the wine involved had illegal pesticide residues exceeding limits.
