Check 'History' section translation[edit]

Guan Shen Yuan, the manufacturer of White Rabbit Candy has denied Philippine claims that its White Rabbit Candy contains potentially cancer causing formaldehyde. The company said it immediately submitted samples to an internationally certified testing laboratory in Shanghai upon hearing the news Sunday and results have come back negative for formaldehyde. The statement also called the Philippines bureau extremely irresponsible for not confirming the authenticity of the products, saying White Rabbit's high name recognition had led to rampant faking of the product both within China and internationally. The Philippine side has not provided effective evidence, and Guan Shen Yuan will bring legal action over the damage caused to the White Rabbit brand. 70.231.145.141 06:42, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
