Drug tests lead to hot-pot morphine bust
     2016-April-20  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    A RESTAURANT in Bao’an District was found using morphine in their hot pot after two men were detained for drug use after dining at the restaurant, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported.

    Two migrant workers, going by aliases Hao and Shen Yun, from Southwest China’s Guizhou Province, were given 15-day administrative detention for taking drugs in Bao’an District on March 26. The two blamed the hot-pot restaurant. They were suspected of taking heroin at their friend’s home March 22 and detained by police on Songgang Road in Bao’an District at 9 p.m. on March 25.

    Upon release on April 10, the two denied that they had taken drugs and suspected testing positive for drugs was related to a lamb hot pot they had before being detained by police.

    The two remembered that their friend, known as Xiaoyong, brought them to a restaurant at Hongxing Community in Bao’an District on April 13. He and Shen were going to help Xiaoyong get some money back from a family.

    The family called the police when He and Shen arrived at the apartment to ask for money. The police later urine tested the two men at a police station. He and Shen said that they did not eat anything except for hot pot at the restaurant.

    Reporters from the Daily went to the restaurant with the two men and the female owner of the restaurant told them that the lamb hot pot was the house special. After the lamb hot pot was served, the reporter asked for the food to go. The reporter took the soup and reported to the food and drug administration of Bao’an District.

    On April 13, the Songgang office of the administration inspected the restaurant when it received the report and found a package of powder in a cabinet in the kitchen. The owner said she did not know what the powder was and it did not belong to her.

    “A customer left [the powder] here and never showed up again,” she said. “I don’t know what it is and have never used it.”

    The administration detected morphine in the hot-pot soup. Similar cases have happened before. Consumers tested positive for drugs after having hot pot that contained poppy seeds.

    The police said that some restaurants add morphine to the hot-pot soup as flavoring, but it also leads to addiction.

    The owner of the restaurant is being held in criminal detention.
