  • Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority allows importers to resume sale of India-made Maggi noodles …

    Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority allows importers to resume sale of India-made Maggi noodles …

    NEW DELHI: Singapore’s food regulator declared Maggi noodles imported from India to be free from health risks, bringing some respite to Nestle. The manufacturer had been ordered to withdraw the locally made product from shelves in India because of excessive lead content and mislabeling.

    The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) ordered the resumption of India-made Maggi in the citystate, which has among the most stringent rules on public hygiene. Nestle India surged on the news, ending 9.4% up on the National Stock Exchange, its biggest daily increase in five years. The share had plunged by more than 10% last week as the controversy ballooned, culminating in the nationwide withdrawal of Maggi noodles ordered by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India.

    Singapore had asked retailers to stop selling the product last week, pending tests, after the furore in India over the product. The island-nation imports a wide variety of foods made in the country to cater to expats and locals that are sold through stores such as Mustafa Centre in the Little India area.

    Results from AVA’s laboratory tests showed that the India-made Maggi instant noodles met local food safety standards, according to a report in The Straits Times. The Maggi noodles exported to Singapore is identical to the product sold in India, said a company spokesperson. “They are manufactured at the same plants,” the person said.

    AVA also tested Maggi instant noodles produced in other countries and these too met food safety requirements, the report said. At press time, the UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) hadn’t reached any conclusion on India-made Maggi noodles. The FSA was checking whether the product contained excessive levels of MSG along with Nestle UK and the European Commission.

    Nestle UK only imports the masala flavour of the product from India, the FSA said on its website. It also said that the “batch of noodles originally tested by the authorities in India, which was found to contain lead, was not sold in the UK… Following the incident in India, we have taken the decision to test for levels of lead in a selection of Maggi noodles as a precaution.”

    A spokesperson from the Food Standards Agency said: “The FSA is now testing this (masala) flavour and other flavours as a precaution. As tests are currently ongoing, these results are not available at this time.

    We have requested the information on the test results and batches involved from the Indian authorities via European Commission channels.” The India and Singapore food regulators couldn’t immediately be reached for a response.

    Maggi noodles became an integral part of the Indian diet after being launched in the country in the early 1980s. Nestle’s troubles began when excessive levels of lead were found in samples tested by the Uttar Pradesh regulator. The day before FSSAI issued its order, Nestle decided to withdraw Maggi noodles from shelves in India.

    “We withdrew the product from shelves because consumers’ trust was shaken,” said Nestle global CEO Paul Bulcke in New Delhi last week. “We want Maggi noodles back on shelves as soon as possible.” The food regulator rejected Nestle’s queries regarding testing procedures in India. FSSAI said the tests had been carried out on the noodles and the seasoning or tastemaker together and separately.

    It also admonished the company for labeling the pack with the line ‘No added MSG’ (monosodium glutamate), saying this was unacceptable in markets such as the US. FSSAI has since ordered the testing of other noodle brands.

  • China beef processor launches online store

    China beef processor launches online store

    Speaking during last week’s inaugural Beef Festival in Chongqing, China’s largest metropolis, Feng Jiyu, general manager of Hengdou Agriculture Co, which operates a beef processor of the same name, said the company had been establishing a nationwide network of warehouses which would allow it to deliver nationwide once the company’s website was set up.

    Hengdou, said Feng, had established a marketing headquarters in Beijing and branch offices in all the country’s key population belts, including northerly Shenyang but also the populous central province of Henan and the wealthy southern cities of Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

    The announcement about an own-name online retail operation came after Hengdou, in March, launched nine new packaged meat products, such as cooked liver, tripe and brisket, prepared in various Chinese styles and frozen for quick cooking. The firm already sells a range of frozen steaks and dried jerkies. These are retailed via key Chinese online sites such as Taobao.com, Tianmao.com and Jingdong.com. Hengdou sells 150g packaged frozen steaks online for RMB22 with five-steak packs selling for RMB178 on Jingdong.com, a food-focused online retailer.

    The firm gives consumers instructions on how to cook beef such as steaks in ‘Western’ ways: Chinese cooking tends to emphasise the use of stir-fried cubes of beef as well as clay-pot cooking of variety/offal cuts.

    According to Feng, Hengdou is keen to maximise online sales both of gift boxes and convenience snack products. But it is also looking to sell wines, olive oils and other high-margin imported food products which it currently markets in marketing material to educate customers on how to consume beef.

    “We will increase both our online and our offline presence,” Feng told journalists in Chongqing. Notably, the firm last month opened a brand-name store in Beijing’s fashionable Wangjing district. “It is vital to use offline stores to build brand recognition,” said Feng. His retail clients include Walmart, RT-Mart and Carrefour outlets in China.

    Traceability is a key marketing point for Feng, who said online customers would be drawn to the company’s ability to trace meat – all of which, Feng said, came from the company’s own 300,000 herd of Simmental and Chinese-native Luxi cattle, fed in feed-lots adjacent to company slaughtering facilities in northern and south-western China.

    Hengdou has seen online retail shake up China’s traditional retail market in the past few years, with consumers switching to frozen and convenience meals in a manner before unseen in China where wet markets – most without any refrigerated meat – and supermarkets have long dominated.

    Based in Sichuan, one of China’s fastest-growing regional economies, Hengdou stands to gain from rising beef consumption, according to Feng, who pointed to average per capita beef consumption of “5kg per capita in China compared to 45kg in developed countries”.

    Long-term, China has the potential to export branded beef products to Muslim and other countries, stated Liu Changde, head of the beef committee at the China Animal Husbandry Association (CAHA), a government body. CAHA and the Chongqing government teamed up with Hengdou to organise the Beef Festival, which saw demonstrations on how to cook beef as well as how to recognise “water-injected and fake beef” according to an invitation to the event sent to China-based journalists.

  • Horror quarter for McDonald’s Japan

    Horror quarter for McDonald’s Japan

    McDonald’s Japan had already warned investors it would be a nightmare year.

    Earlier this month it announced the closure of 131 stores, a menu revamp and refurbishment of 500 stores in a bid to stem a projected US$319 million loss.

    This week, McDonald’s Holdings Company (Japan) released its first quarter trading results: same-store sales plunged 32.3 per cent due largely to a 24.3 per cent drop in customers and total sales fell 39.9 billion yen (US$332 million) to 83 billion ($691 million).

    Sales were hampered by ongoing food safety issues relating to suppliers, and even a widely reported shortage of fries, which led to unprecedented rationing to customers.

    The result was an ordinary trading loss of 11.1 billion yen ($92.4 million) which after the first round of one-off restructuring costs grew to a total 14.5 billion ($121 million) loss for the three months to March 31.

    But the fast food company said same store sales are trending upwards – with expectation they will turn positive in the third quarter. Provisional figures for April show a drop of 21.5 per cent, nearly a third less than the first quarter.

    For now, the company says its focus is on executing the Business Revitalization plan in order to accelerate the business recovery, lay the foundations for future growth, and achieve mid- and long-term goals.

  • Foodpanda seals $110m funding

    Foodpanda seals $110m funding

    One of the world’s best-known merchant bankers has taken a strategic stake in fast-growing food delivery service Foodpanda.

    Just 50 days after securing $110 million cash injection from its parent and other new investors, the Rocket Internet subsidiary says Goldman Sachs has invested another $110 million into the business and will take a seat on its advisory board.

    The funds are being used by Foodpanda to snap up rival delivery services in new and existing markets to help it gain critical mass and eliminate competition. Since its launch in 2012 the business has now raised more than $310 million.

    Its latest acquisitions have been in Malaysia and other Southeast Asian markets, along with Russia, Mexico and Eastern Europe.

    Foodpanda says it will use the Goldman Sachs funds to expand its own delivery activities and improve overall customer experience across its 40 markets.

    Foodpanda’s service standards are slipping in some established markets and customers often lack an alternative supplier due to Foodpanda’s ‘scorched earth’ acquisition strategy. Improving delivery times, the temperature control and delivery condition of food and improving customer response times is becoming a major challenge for the company in some markets.

    “Last-mile delivery has been part of Foodpanda’s operations since the beginning. It will now accelerate its efforts to drive customer satisfaction, aiming to offer the most convenient way of ordering food – from the mobile app and online,” the company said in a statement.

    Ralf Wenzel, co-founder and CEO of Foodpanda group, said Goldman Sachs has deep expertise in online marketplaces and will help the company build the leading mobile food delivery marketplace in Emerging Markets targeting over 3 billion consumers.

    “The Emerging Markets represent the largest opportunity in online food delivery and we are committed to create the most convenient way for ordering and delivering food.”

    Foodpanda now has partnerships with more than 45,000 restaurants across 40 countries, and claims market leadership in 32 of those markets.
