(Central News Agency, reporter Yu Xiaohan, Taipei, 7th) A netizen posted a question on social media questioning whether a restaurant chain had switched to using plant-based or restructured meat for its pork chop. Hushushang, which was implicitly referenced, issued a statement today emphasizing that the claim is false, demanding that the relevant poster immediately correct the information. The company has collected evidence and reserves all legal rights.
A netizen posted on Threads saying, "Has the Tangshan pork chop from HuXX changed to vegetarian? It looks like synthetic plant-based meat," and the post was widely shared by many netizens, though it has since been deleted.
Hushushang stated in its announcement that the "Tangshan Loin Pork Chop" is made from whole pork loin, not a restructured meat product.
Hushushang pointed out that all raw materials are sourced from qualified suppliers and come with certificates of origin, slaughter, and inspection, complying with food safety regulations. The company stated that all relevant documents are available for inspection by authorities and urged the public not to share unverified information to avoid misunderstandings.
Hushushang also stated that regarding the act of spreading false content that damages its business reputation, it demands that the relevant poster immediately correct the information. The company has collected evidence and reserves all legal rights. (Editor: Guan Zhongwei) 1150607
