Supplier Preserved Fruit Additive and Hygiene Problems Exposed; Brand Pulls Products and Apologizes
In 2012, a CCTV investigation exposed problems at some of Laiyifen's preserved fruit suppliers, including arbitrary use of additives and unsanitary production conditions. Shanghai ordered the affected products removed from shelves, and Laiyifen apologized, suspended procurement, and overhauled its supplier management. The incident was limited to the suppliers and products named and does not imply that all snack categories were substandard.
