The controversy over the import of eggs from Japan by Supr Inc. and the involvement of Taiwan Livestock Development Association intensified as it was revealed that a trade contract signed with LCA Enterprise Limited was later paid by Supr Inc. instead. Deputy Minister of Agriculture Du Wen-zhen, who also serves as the chairman of the Livestock Development Association, claimed ignorance about the situation when interviewed, drawing criticism from Taipei Mayor Hou You-yi, who stated that this cannot be explained to the people. Mayor Hou emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability, especially with parliamentary reform ongoing. LCA Bio-Tech, the company involved, remained elusive when questioned by reporters. Mayor Hou urged for clarity on how Supr Inc. imported the eggs, stressing that saying 'I don't know' is not an acceptable response.
