![]() 銆€銆€Leading Chinese white-spirits maker Kweichow Moutai Co. on Monday cited positive test results from three quality inspection institutions after trading of its stocks was suspended over contamination rumors the same day. 銆€銆€In its statement filed to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the Guizhou-based firm attached reports from the state quality inspection authority and a provincial authority at its place of origin, both dated August this year, along with a third report dated December by the Shanghai-based Intertek to counter recent additive accusations. 銆€銆€All reports showed samples of its products did not contain excessive levels of plasticizer and conformed to national standards. 銆€銆€In the statement, Moutai also posted photographs of its production and operating sites and labs, while inviting on-the-spot investigation from consumers, investors and all levels of quality inspection authorities. 銆€銆€Moutai's statement came after a netizen named "Shui Jing Huang" claimed last week in his personal blog that a sample of the company's liquor had been found to contain toxic levels of plasticizer. 銆€銆€The alleged Hong Kong investor posted pictures of the test report on Sunday night, causing Moutai's emergency trading suspension. 銆€銆€Buoyed by the market's overall warming performance, trading of other Chinese alcohol producers picked up on Monday after the sector suffered great losses following a scandal which began in late November over products found to be tainted with plasticizer. 銆€銆€Jiugui Liquor Co., the first company embroiled in the affair, saw its stocks rise by nearly 6 percent by Monday's close. |
