The Shanghai authorities are investigating batches of oranges coloured with toxic dyes and have ordered fruit stall vendors to pull them off the shelves, the Oriental Morning Post reported on Friday.
The case came to light after consumers in Pudong complained that the colouring rubbed off when they held the oranges or wiped them with tissue paper.
The latest food safety scare involves poisonous industrial wax, which can cause damage to the immune and respiratory systems in people, the paper said.
