september 9, shanghai. a netizen posted a video saying that he wanted to buy chocolate at laderach (shanghai hong kong hui henglong store), but he accidentally found flies in the counter and instantly didn't want to buy it.

from the video, we can see that flies are crawling back and forth in the counter inside the store, and the chocolate being crawled on is priced at 103 yuan per 100 grams.

witnesses said: at first i thought it was a decoration and the cabinets were connected, until it moved around and i realized it was a living thing.

the photographer said that he was hesitant at first when he saw flies inside, because he felt that flies should not be present in such a high-end mall, especially in a food counter. witnesses said that the counters were all connected, and many chocolates were contaminated, which was disgusting.

in response, the mall stated that it conducted random inspections on food stores; a staff member at the business involved responded that the store was close to a supermarket and flies would fly in, and the items that the flies had landed on had been thrown away.

on september 11, ledra released an investigation report and statement on the matter.

the statement said that a pest control company had been sent to conduct on-site operations to identify possible pest breeding areas inside and outside the store. the brand also posted photos of the control process.

regarding the chocolate involved, the brand stated that all the entire cabinets of chocolate products sold since september 9 have been removed from the shelves and scrapped.

all the fresh food counters at the grand gateway store have been emptied and disinfected multiple times. the grand gateway store has also added two additional mosquito lamps.

according to laderach's official introduction, laderach, as a swiss handmade chocolate brand, has been pursuing fresh, modern and creative luxury since its establishment in 1962, allowing chocolate to bring the purest enjoyment to the taste buds.

the brand has stores in shanghai, hangzhou, chengdu, shenzhen, beijing, tianjin, wuxi, guangzhou and nanjing.

we saw on the official mini program that the price of the hot-selling product is 219 yuan for 250g.

the price of heart-shaped dark chocolate hazelnut chocolate is 129 yuan per 100g.

many dessert review bloggers have reviewed ledra's chocolate. most netizens have the impression that this brand is very expensive.

user comments

baby du: flies don’t know which shopping malls are high-end and cannot enter.

yes, i'm slacking off: with a price of more than 500 yuan per pound, no one is patrolling the store, and even the delicatessen owner knows to just use a fly swatter to swatter a few times.

passerby b: the weather has turned bad, and the food business is bound to be like this. if you’re not careful... the problem with this store is that the prices are too high, but there is no supporting service.

haohan xingchen: it’s so expensive, but the hygiene can’t even be guaranteed. is it more important than the health of the customers?

xia tian: this one will cost several thousand or even tens of thousands...

neurological research center: 103 yuan/100g of chocolate, the hygiene environment is just so-so.
