BEIJING - Chinese prosecutors announced Friday the arrest of six OSI Group Inc. employees, more than a month after authorities suspended the U.S. food company’s operations there, accusing one of its subsidiaries of selling expired products to fast-food companies.
The six employees were arrested for selling substandard products, the Shanghai Municipal People’s Prosecution Service said in a statement on its website. The prosecutors named plant manager Hu Jun as one of the six arrested, and a person who has been advising OSI in China said the six are all Chinese nationals.
OSI confirmed the arrests in a statement, saying that the six employees were arrested following detention. The statement said OSI will “continue to cooperate fully and in good faith with the authorities.”
