After investigation and evidence collection, in early March, reporters from the 315 Gala handed over investigation materials to the State Administration for Market Regulation. The administration immediately organized multiple departments to analyze the clues. Concerning the involved merchants and companies that operate illegally, recent efforts have mobilized law enforcement across various regions to conduct comprehensive crackdowns on this black food processing industry chain, including surprise inspections of Shu Fu Xiang, Ming Yang Food, Zeng Qiao Food, and related upstream enterprises.

Law enforcement first investigated Shu Fu Xiang. On-site at its Workshop No. 3, officials from the State Administration for Market Regulation seized 27 barrels of hydrogen peroxide food additive, two of which had been opened. In Workshops No. 4 and 5, multiple barrels of soaking chicken feet were found. Officials took comprehensive samples of hydrogen peroxide, soaking water, semi-finished products, and finished products. A total of 232 boxes of Sichuan peppercorn chicken feet and 319 boxes of aromatic marinated chicken feet, which failed rapid testing, were confiscated on the spot.

At the scene, company personnel admitted that since May 2025, they have been purchasing hydrogen peroxide from Jinshan Pharmaceutical for chicken foot processing and equipment disinfection, with a total purchase of 5,242 barrels. Meanwhile, Ming Yang Food was investigated for severely violating food safety laws due to poor production environment; Jinshan Pharmaceutical and Yifeng Electronic New Materials were also jointly investigated for illegally providing unlabeled food additives and violating hazardous chemical management regulations.

Meanwhile, another law enforcement team from the State Administration for Market Regulation conducted a surprise inspection of Zeng Qiao Food. They found four unopened barrels of hydrogen peroxide and one opened barrel that was sealed in the boiler room on the third floor. Multiple barrels of chicken feet and chicken leg bones were soaking in the production workshop, with bubbles continuously rising from the liquid inside. Surveillance footage showed that staff repeatedly transported hydrogen peroxide within the factory premises. Sampling results confirmed the presence of hydrogen peroxide in soaking water, semi-finished, and finished products.
