Zhengzhou Tianfang Food Group Holds a Factory-wide Meeting Emphasizing Product Quality

At 8:30 AM on July 2, the chairman and company leaders at all levels solemnly held a quality and safety meeting for Zhengzhou Tianfang Food Group Co., Ltd. On July 1, the company's quality inspection found that over 300 pieces of dry noodles produced did not meet the company's taste requirements. The board decided to destroy them and took this opportunity to hold a serious and earnest quality and safety meeting for all employees. Quality and safety must be deeply ingrained in the hearts of every Tianfang person, and customer interests must be placed first. Resolutely defend the Tianfang brand!

Solemn Statement

Recently, television media reported on the issue of illegal refining of gutter oil in Zhangzhuang Village, Zhongmu County. The program mentioned the possibility that gutter oil might have entered the Tianfang instant noodle factory. After the report spread online, it seriously affected the image of Halal Tianfang instant noodles. Our company hereby issues the following statement regarding this incident: 1. Zhengzhou Tianfang Food Group Co., Ltd is located in the 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 strictly 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 exceed 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 impossible for new types of gutter oil made from dead pigs or other non-compliant oils to enter the Tianfang production factory. 2. The relevant reports have attracted the high attention of the Zhengzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Given that 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, the Municipal Ethnic Affairs Commission, Quality Supervision, Food Safety, Public Security, and other government departments entered our factory to conduct an investigation. On the same day, the national authoritative quality inspection department sampled and tested oil from different parts such as frying pans and oil storage tanks, as well as finished products in the warehouse. The investigation results showed that the public's concerns about Tianfang instant noodles in the report 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 and testing of oils and finished products confirmed that all oils and finished products used in Tianfang instant noodle production were qualified. 3. Regarding the new type of gutter oil made from dead pigs 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 into 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 their 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 long-term support and affection for "Tianfang." We hope that relevant media and individuals will not spread rumors or continue to fabricate online rumors, nor make inappropriate comments. From the perspective of maintaining ethnic unity and protecting the good reputation of the Tianfang brand, we advocate "no rumor creation, no rumor belief, no rumor spreading." We also 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 individuals according to law. This is a special statement!
