The reporter exclusively learned from COFCO that in response to the recent media reports mentioned in the coal-to-oil tanker trajectory incident, the Dongguan Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau responded quickly on the evening of July 9 and went to COFCO Dongguan Grain and Oil Industry Co., Ltd. to carry out a special inspection on the transportation of bulk edible vegetable oil. The specific details of the investigation will be subject to the official announcement issued by the Dongguan Municipal Administration for Market Regulation.
The CBN reporter tried to contact the Dongguan Municipal Administration for Market Regulation for more information, but the phone has not been connected. According to the guidelines on its official website, the reporter called the consultation and complaint hotline 12345, but could not get a substantive reply.
The incident of "tanker trucks not washing and mixing tanks" has aroused widespread public concern. According to data obtained by the media from third-party platforms, the trajectory of the tanker truck involved was exposed, involving the Wuhan and Xianyang factories of the edible oil brand Arowana. According to reports, the same truck was loaded with cooking oil in Dongguan and then arrived at the Arowana factory in Xianyang, prompting the Dongguan Municipal Market Supervision Bureau to intervene in the investigation:
- On March 22, the car loaded vegetable oil at Hebei Shijiazhuang Hongrun Oil Industry Co., Ltd., and arrived at Yihai Kerry (Wuhan) Grain and Oil Industry Co., Ltd. two days later;
- On June 1, the car loaded edible oil in China Textile Grain and Oil (Dongguan) Co., Ltd. and set off; On June 4, it arrived at the Arowana edible oil factory in Xianyang to unload.
The media further reported that the truck had previously been loaded with coal-to-liquid several times during the transportation from Dongguan to Xianyang. In this regard, the market supervision authorities in Wuhan and Xianyang have initiated investigation procedures.
In the early morning of July 10, the first financial reporter visited Yihai Kerry (Wuhan) Grain and Oil Industry Co., Ltd. located on Wuhan Airport Avenue, which is not far from the Arowana edible oil production base. The reporter noticed that there was a tanker truck parked in the factory area, and the body was marked with "medium edible oil".
According to official information, Yihai Kerry (Wuhan) Grain and Oil Industry Co., Ltd. was established in Wuhan in April 2002, integrating grain and oil production, grain reserves, logistics transit, international trade and marketing, and has been recognized as a provincial agricultural industrialization leading enterprise since 2016, ranking among the top 100 enterprises in Hubei Province all year round. Tianyancha information shows that Yihai Kerry (Wuhan) Grain and Oil Industry Co., Ltd. has a registered capital of 190 million yuan, and the listed company Arowana (stock code: 300999.SZ) holds 95% of its equity.

On the morning of July 10, Arowana Food Group Co., Ltd. made an official response to the recent report on the safety of bulk edible oil transportation. Arowana said that the group has carried out a comprehensive self-inspection, and the results of the self-inspection show that all subordinate enterprises in the safe transportation of bulk edible oil, "have strictly fulfilled their regulatory responsibilities, and have conscientiously implemented the special qualifications of transport vehicles, the previous loading, tank cleaning and inspection, etc."
In view of the specific process and standards of tank clearance, the reporter asked COFCO for verification, but COFCO said that it was inconvenient to disclose the details.
On the 10th, the reporter tried to track the trajectory of the tanker truck that had been exposed by the media and self-media bloggers through a third-party data platform, but found that the relevant information could no longer be queried. A source from the truck data service platform confirmed that as of the 9th, the trajectory data of the tanker truck can still be found in external databases, but on the 10th, the data mysteriously disappeared. This change has attracted more attention to the transparency of tank truck transportation monitoring.
