OSAKA -- Duskin Co., which runs the Mister Donut chain in Japan, on Tuesday reported to the Osaka Prefectural Government on its use of an unauthorized antioxidant for producing dumplings, as was disclosed Monday.
The Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry had been tipped off about the substance's use but had not been informed by the company despite corporate executives' knowledge of it. It thus ordered Duskin to report to the local government.
Duskin, which runs a cleaning equipment rental firm as its main business, is based in Suita, Osaka Prefecture.
