According to an announcement issued by the Macau Municipal Affairs Department on December 5, a batch of canned “Merlin” brand mustard and pork was detected to have excessive residual veterinary medicine. According to the announcement, the Municipal Affairs Department detected excessive amounts of the veterinary drug sulfadimidine remaining in a batch of canned food samples with mustard and shredded pork spun off to Macau via Hong Kong, and the products involved did not enter the market. At present, Guangming Meat has responded to this matter. According to Southern Metropolis Daily, the company said: There are no products such as canned mustard and shredded pork. The product involved is not Shanghai Merlin, a subsidiary of Guangming Meat, but COFCO Meilin under the COFCO Group. “There are two domestic Merlin brands, which are completely different. They operate for the two companies, and the products are not the same.” “The reason they are all called 'Merlin' is that in the 50s and 60s of the last century, because Shanghai Merlin had to export canned meat for lunch. At the time, it was authorized to export canned goods to the COFCO Group. Later, it did not completely take back the Merlin brand, so COFCO also operated the Merlin brand.”
