BEIJING (Kyodo) Chinese officials are saying there were no serious food-poisoning cases involving employees at a company who ate frozen dumplings that had been recalled after leaving several people in Japan ill, the state-controlled Xinhua News Agency reported.

A worker at Chengde Iron and Steel Co. experienced discomfort after eating the "gyoza" dumplings, but the man was fine after taking a rest, according to an official of the Hebei Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

The official made the comment after Japanese media reported Saturday that some employees at Tangshan Iron and Steel Co. showed symptoms of food poisoning after eating the dumplings made and recalled by Tianyang Food.
