Shanghai's mooncake manufacturers are banned from selling cakes that are made
of leftover mooncakes.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, some merchants purchase unsold mooncakes at a
low price and then reprocess them into other cakes, the Shanghai Morning Post
reported yesterday, citing Feng Fusheng, deputy secretary-general of the
Shanghai Sugar-made Food Association.
Chinese people usually give boxes of mooncakes to their families, friends and
business contacts around the Mid-Autumn Festival, which occurs on the 15th day
of the eighth month on the lunar calendar. (For more biz stories, please visit Industry Updates)
