Food found to be substandard

GUANGZHOU: A wide range of food products on sale here does not meet local quality standards, the Guangdong food safety committee said in a report yesterday.

Among the worst offenders are Western liquors and various peanut oil brands, it said.

The report comes after several months of inspections conducted by the committee in collaboration with other local authorities. Meat, vegetables, seafood, cooking oil, liquor, wine and snacks were all inspected.
