BEIJING, March 17 (UPI) -- Giant Chinese meat processor Henan Shuanghui Investment and Development faced allegations of an illegal additive in meat supplied by an affiliate.
A report by China Central Television said Jiyuan Shuanghui Food Co. Ltd. bought pigs that allegedly had been fed clenbuterol, an illegal additive that helps build muscle and is banned because it can cause dizziness and heart palpitations in people who consume it, China Daily reported Thursday.
