Hsu Fu Chi loses first instance in food antioxidant lawsuit, appeals, and receives quality supervision response
In 2012, a Shenzhen court in a consumer lawsuit held at first instance that additive issues in Hsu Fu Chi's relevant pastries and candies constituted fraud. Hsu Fu Chi denied illegal addition and said it would appeal; the Dongguan quality supervision department later said TBHQ and BHT were introduced by raw materials and complied with relevant regulations. This entry preserves the difference between the first-instance ruling and the regulatory response and does not treat either party's statement as the final conclusion.
