Plastic Film and Metal Clips Found in Ham; Yurun Admits Processing Error
Packaging plastic film and metal clips found in ham; Yurun Group admits it was a processing error
Report by staff reporter Li Jing — In response to media reports that Yurun was suspected of reprocessing and selling expired ham, Yurun Group denied the claim last night, saying it is absolutely impossible for expired ham to be reprocessed and sold, and that the problem ham may have been caused by an error in processing.
According to a report by People's Daily Online yesterday,
at noon on the day, a Hefei
star-rated hotel told the media that it had found packaging plastic film and metal clips in square hams of the Yurun brand it had purchased. In response, Yurun explained that ham production is fully automated and mechanized, and that the packaging film and clips may have been mixed into the ham during packaging.
In its report, the media said that the hotel's head chef Li Chenglin believes that for plastic film and metal clips to be mixed into the ham in this way, it looks more like they were already stirred in when the ham meat was being produced, in other words
before it even reached the packaging stage, these things were already inside
In addition, the report said that a person who has worked in the food industry for many years,

shares the hotel chef's view. He believes Yurun may have removed the packaging from ham nearing or even past its shelf life, sterilized it at high temperature and then put it back on the market.
On this matter, last night our reporter contacted Li Aibin, assistant to the president of Yurun Group, who said in a telephone interview with our reporter that the relevant reports
of reprocessing and selling expired ham
are speculation and false reporting, and the company is pursuing the matter.
On this matter, we admit there was a fault in processing; it was one non-conforming product, with odds of one in tens of thousands.
For a company as large as Yurun, the problem of reprocessing absolutely cannot exist.
