The Government has banned the import of all edible oils from Taiwan and ordered a product recall.
The Centre for Food Safety included plant edible oil in the restriction list today after assessing Taiwan investigations into substandard edible oil.
The centre said three more companies have imported lard or lard products from Taiwan - Hengxing Food (HK), Teamon Products, and Wah Wai Enterprise Company.
A number of retail chains, including AEON Stores, PARKnSHOP, Wellcome and 759STORE have stopped selling food products suspected to be made of edible oil of animal origin and have notified the centre.
