Dairy producer says price rises regular adjustments

BEIJING - While hackers left messages on the official website of Mengniu, China's biggest dairy producer, calling the company "a disgrace", the company, which is embroiled in a food safety scandal, confirmed on Thursday that it will raise the price of some of its products.

"We will raise the price of some products, mainly pasteurized milk, but the price hikes will not apply to all our products," Ji Xiaodong, an assistant spokesman for the company told China Daily.

"The increases are regular price adjustments," he added.
