Court dismisses quality concerns

SHANGHAI Husi Food won a court case earlier this year against a former quality control officer whose claims included that he was made to falsify meat production dates.

Wang Donglai, who worked at the company from 2007-2013, sought about 38,000 yuan (US$6,100) in compensation for damage to his health from exposure to chlorine used as a cleaning agent by the meat processor.

He also sought to terminate his contract at Shanghai Husi, claiming he was forced to work overtime and made to do “unethical work” that violated food safety laws, according to court documents.

At his hearing last October, Wang said he was unwilling to illegally falsify production dates at the plant, adding that he repeatedly urged his employer to change a practice that he said violated food safety laws and hurt the interests of consumers, the documents showed.

Shanghai Husi, which is owned by Illinois-based OSI Group, ignored his pleas, he said.

The Shanghai Jiading District Court ruled against Wang in January, saying his health was normal based on records provided by his employer.

The judge also dismissed Wang’s claims about forced overtime and the changing of production dates due to lack of evidence.
