Five employees of Shanghai Husi Food Co who were implicated in the meat scandal were detained yesterday.

The quintet includes the company's top executive and its quality manager, the Shanghai public security bureau said in a statement. It did not elaborate.

Zhang Hui, manager of Husi's quality department, told investigators earlier that the company has been repackaging and selling out-of-date meat for many years.
