More sauce from Japan found to be tainted

Batches of soybean sauce made by a Japanese firm and imported to China have been found to contain excessive amounts of arsenic, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said yesterday.

The Tianjin quarantine bureau said the sauce, made by Morita Foods, contained five times more arsenic than Chinese standards allow, it said.

All of the contaminated products were destroyed before entering the market, it said.
