Ajisen resumes trading 15 August

The company was previously suspended from trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange amidst government investigation.

A Bloomberg report said, “Ajisen (China) Holdings Ltd., the restaurant chain being investigated by the government for how it discloses the nutritional content of its soup, said it will resume trading on Aug. 15.”

In a filing, the company has disclosed the production process and supply chain for its soup. It also promised to assume liability for any food-safety problems and not to use unauthorized or excess additives.

“The Hong Kong-based restaurant chain is assisting an investigation by China’s commerce ministry into the ‘inappropriate’ description of the nutritional-content test of its soup base,” said the report.
