Solemn Statement
2012-04-08
Recently, television media reported on the issue of illegal refining of gutter oil in Zhangzhuang Village, Zhongmu County. The program mentioned that gutter oil might have flowed into the Tianfang instant noodle factory. After the report spread online, it seriously affected the image of Halal Tianfang instant noodles. Our company hereby makes the following statement regarding this incident:
1. Zhengzhou Tianfang Food Group Co., Ltd is located in Mazhai Food Industrial Park, Erqi District, Zhengzhou City. It is a professional enterprise producing "Tianfang" brand instant noodles, a nationally designated Halal food production enterprise, a model unit for ethnic unity and progress at the provincial and municipal levels, and the "Tianfang" trademark is a "Famous Trademark of Henan Province."
Our company always adheres to the corporate purpose of "serving consumers," follows the path of creating a famous brand, strictly manages production, and ensures quality and safety. All raw and auxiliary materials required for production, including palm oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, and other edible oils, are controlled at the source and are all selected from qualified, regular, and legal enterprises.
The company has also formulated enterprise standards such as "Edible Palm Oil Acceptance Standard," "Sesame Oil Acceptance Standard," and "Peanut Oil Acceptance Standard." Some quality indicators of these enterprise standards are superior to national standards. Our quality inspection department conducts batch inspections according to these standards, and any oil that does not meet our acceptance standards is firmly rejected.
Therefore, it is clear that new-type gutter oil made from dead pigs or other non-compliant oils could not possibly enter the Tianfang production factory.
2. The relevant reports have attracted the high attention of the Zhengzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Since the Tianfang instant noodle factory is a Halal food enterprise, the Zhengzhou Municipal Government immediately instructed the Municipal Ethnic Affairs Commission to lead the investigation. On April 17, 2012, government departments including the Ethnic Affairs Commission, Quality Supervision, Food Safety, and Public Security entered our factory to investigate. On the same day, the national authoritative quality inspection department conducted sampling tests on oil from frying pans, oil storage tanks, and finished products in the warehouse. The investigation results showed that the public's complaints about Tianfang instant noodles had no factual basis, and Tianfang instant noodles did not purchase or use gutter oil. The results were announced to the public that evening through the official website of the Zhengzhou Municipal Ethnic Affairs Commission, Dahe Net, Zhongyuan Net, and other media. On April 20, 2012, the national authoritative quality inspection department's sampling test results of oil and finished products showed that all oils and finished products used in Tianfang instant noodle production were qualified.
3. Regarding the new-type dead pig gutter oil issue reported by television and related media, our company believes that the media's speculative reports have negatively impacted our company's image and products, even escalating to ethnic conflict issues.
Our company hopes that government departments at all levels, the broad Muslim community, suppliers, distributors, and all sectors of society will use your abilities and influence to spread correct information and help the company eliminate adverse effects.
We sincerely thank leaders at all levels, the broad Muslim community, suppliers, distributors, and all sectors of society for their support and affection for "Tianfang" over the years.
Our company hopes that relevant media and individuals will not spread rumors or continue to fabricate online falsehoods, nor make inappropriate comments. From the perspective of maintaining ethnic unity and protecting the good reputation of the Tianfang brand, we advocate "no fabrication, no belief, no spreading of rumors." At the same time, we request relevant channels and websites to make positive reports and delete harmful information. Our company reserves the right to pursue legal responsibility against relevant units and personnel according to law.
