White Rabbit denies 'contaminated candy' claim

SHANGHAI: The manufacturer of White Rabbit candy yesterday released the results of a laboratory test countering accusations by Philippine food authorities that its product contains formaldehyde.

Weng Mao, the general manager of Guan Sheng Yuan (Group) Ltd (GSY), said at a press conference that the company had received a sample test result from SGS, an international inspection company, showing its products were free of the poisonous chemical.

"The report is convincing enough to dispel the untrue reports from some overseas media," he said.
