Caixin, a respected business magazine, reported Wednesday, citing an anonymous source, that supermarkets had removed their fish after word leaked that national inspectors would begin a wide-ranging check for banned chemicals and additives in foods.
Southern Weekend, a weekly newspaper published in Guangdong province, reported Thursday that some retailers appeared fearful of heavy fines for using excessive amounts of antibiotics and other additives in water to keep fish alive and free of disease.
The Beijing Food and Drug Administration said Thursday that rumours of an outbreak of pollution that left lingering toxins in fish were groundless, and there had been no directive telling retailers to stop selling live freshwater fish.
