FIVE local restaurants were investigated for using poppy or other banned products in their food.

The eateries were busted following a nationwide crackdown.

The eateries are Jiaxin Restaurant, Youqin Food Store, Dongjikai Restaurant, Shengxian Restaurant and a Nanjing steamed bun eatery on Gulian Road in Jinshan District.

The hotpot seasoning at Jiaxin Restaurant in Jinshan District were found to contain poppy, while the lobster sauce in Youqin contained morphine.

The Dongjikai restaurant’s cumin powder and the flavoring used in Shengxian also contained poppy elements.

The noodle soup at the steamed bun eatery also had poppy.

Adding poppy capsule or powder into food is banned under the food safety law.

China Food and Drug Administration said yesterday 35 restaurants nationwide were being investigated for poppy capsule-related cases.
