Chinese task forces to investigate goji berry contamination claims

Two local governments in China have vowed to crack down on the use of illegal additives in goji berries after media reports revealed widespread misuse of chemicals in the food.

Authorities in Golmud, Qinghai province, and Jingyuan county in Gansu province said on Monday that they had set up special task forces to investigate the activity.

“The results of the investigation and how the case is being handled will be made public in a timely manner,” Golmud authorities said.

“Those responsible for the offences will be severely punished according to law.”

Jingyuan’s food safety committee issued a similar statement.
