Tongrentang Bee Industry Commissioned Production, Insufficient Supervision

It was Tongrentang bee industry, one of Tongrentang's subsidiaries, that caused the storm. The main business is the processing of bee products, including honey, royal jelly (including royal jelly freeze-dried products), bee products, bee pollen (sub-packaging) and so on. On the morning of December 16, Tongrentang issued a statement saying that all the related products had been sealed up, while Tongrentang bee industry was registered in Daxing District of Beijing, and the Daxing District Food and Drug Administration has launched an investigation.

On August 16, Tongrentang announced that Tongrentang bee industry had signed a contract with Yancheng Golden Bee to deal with the problem of irregular handling of returned honey. The contract clearly stipulated that "honey cleaned up can only be used to feed bees in beekeeping bases, and not be used for any other purposes". According to preliminary investigation, due to the lack of on-site supervision of Tongrentang bee industry, there is a problem of unclear labeling of cleaned honey. At present, no case of these honeys entering the raw material warehouse for production has been found. Therefore, our company and Tongrentang bee industry will further investigate and verify.
