Suzhou Agricultural Law Enforcement Detachment, SIP Economic Development Committee, SIP Hairy Crab Industry Association and several other authorities jointly conducted an inspection over SIP’s hairy crab market on Oct 26, aiming to curb illegal use of “Weiwei Tingting”, a geographical indication used on Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs which are in peak season in the area.
The inspection covered a number of crab stores where the inspectors checked the authenticity of the geographical indications and tags used on their crabs and packages. A few of the stores were found with incomplete information on packages, and the inspectors urged them to make rectifications as soon as possible.
The inspection team and leaders of SIP Hairy Crab Industry Association then had a meeting to discuss measures of further standardizing the use of “Weiwei Tingting” in the future.
