Stocks in Chinese liquor companies heavily impacted Monday by an alleged additive scandal saw a slight rebound Tuesday, though Jiugui Liquor, a high-end liquor producer, did not resume trading after a media report revealed that the company's products may contain excessive plasticizer.
Plasticizer is a chemical which experts say may cause harm to human immune and reproductive systems.
A report on 21cbh.com, a news portal under Guangzhou-based newspaper 21 Century Business Herald, said Monday a test report found that one kilogram of Jiugui liquor contains 1.08 milligrams of DBP, a type of plasticizer, an amount which is 260 percent higher than the national industry standard.
The report has been widely circulated on major domestic news portals.
