No shoddy oil found on mainland so far

No tainted oil from Taiwan has been found so far to have been imported to the mainland, authorities said on Wednesday, as the quality watchdog suspended the importation of all suspect products.

Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said the mainland's quality watchdog is still examining import records to find out whether products produced with the tainted oil have been imported, and it will remove them from shelves immediately if discovered.

"We hope the two sides will further enhance cooperation during the investigation process to protect the health of people," Ma said at a news conference.
