Kerry Logistics Network and Hengan Group’s Joint Venture Karrion Meets Strong Demand for COVID-19 Rapid Test Kits in Hong Kong

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 15 February 2022 – Kerry Logistics Network Limited’s (‘KLN’; Stock Code 0636.HK) joint venture with Hengan International Group Company Limited (‘Hengan Group’; Stock Code 1044.HK), Karrion Development Limited (‘Karrion’), is launching a new SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Detection Kit (Colloidal gold method) (‘rapid detection kit’) named “BandiCheck” under the Banitore brand in Hong Kong today to help check the spread of COVID-19 and protect the public.

 

The “BandiCheck” rapid detection kit contains nasal and oral swabs and is proven to be able to effectively detect the COVID-19, including the Omicron and Delta variants. According to the test results of Germany’s Paul-Ehrlich Institut (PEI), the overall sensitivity of the “BandiCheck” nasal swab ranked in the top ten among a total of 199 comparable products as at 31 January 2022. Furthermore, the oral swab is not only an innovative product, but is also designated for the Hong Kong market. Optimal to use in conducting large scale screening tests, the rapid detection kits can provide results within 15 minutes and are easy to use, highly stable as well as at a lower cost.

 

Samuel Lau, Deputy Managing Director – Integrated Logistics of KLN, said, “Building upon KLN’s established logistics network and Banitore’s reputation as a trustworthy healthcare brand, Karrion will deliver this in-demand solution efficiently and with abundant supply to meet the present need for a quick and easy to use detection kit in bulk to help contain the fifth wave and for the public’s peace of mind.”

 

Martin Li, Executive Director & Chief Financial Officer of Hengan Group, said, “To support the government’s call for voluntary testing, Karrion and Banitore are a perfect fit to bring the ‘BandiCheck’ rapid detection kit to the public at this challenging moment. Our collaboration with KLN was formed during the first wave of the pandemic in 2020, and it is only fitting that we are doing our part to help curb an even more ferocious outbreak.”

 

Karrion was established in 2021 to create synergy in the B2B bulk distribution and wholesale market of medical, healthcare and hygiene products.

Iberian ham adds value in healthy sports diets to winter Olympic athletes

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 15 February 2022 – February has become a key month for winter sports enthusiasts. The 2022 Winter Olympics have officially started on February 4. Held in Beijing, the daily training and diet of professional athletes has become a topic of interest for the Chinese citizen.

Professional athletes need to have excellent and competitive skills, and a strong physique to show the best performance. Therefore, a rich, varied and balanced diet, together with the necessary daily training, is essential to maintain the optimal state of the body and improve sports performance. A good diet is essential in sports practice for energy generation and physical recovery.

 

For professional athletes, adequate intake of high-biological protein, vitamins and minerals is especially important, as it contributes to muscle development and maintaining normal biochemical functions.

 

In this context, the Mediterranean Diet, recognized as Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2010, is a world reference for varied and balanced diet. Within it, Iberian hams occupy a prominent place for their nutritional values.

 

A recent study carried out by a Spanish university (UEX), highlights the high biological value of the proteins presented in Iberian hams from Spain. In addition, the study shows the essential amino acids Iberian ham provides, as well as the presence of minerals (potassium, phosphorus, selenium and zinc) and vitamins of group B (B1, B2, B3, B6 and B12), and from the point of view of fat content, the study highlights the high content of monounsaturated fatty acids in Iberian Ham, and its richness in oleic acid. The replacement of saturated fats by this type of fats presented in Iberian Ham, contributes to maintain normal levels of blood cholesterol.

 

The production of Iberian Ham involves a traditional elaboration process based on long curing times that sometimes lengthen 4, 5,… or even more years. Matured naturally thanks to the climatology of the territory in which the ham is made, they become a food of high nutritional value.

 

The Iberian Jamón is the most prestigious delicacy in Spain and one of the jewels of European cuisine, for its unique flavor, as well as for the nutritional contributions it represents within a varied and balanced diet. 

 

Precisely, to show the Chinese consumer the qualities and benefits of Iberian Ham, ASICI, with the support of the EU, has launched “Iberian Hams of Spain, Ambassadors of Europe in the World”. A historic promotional campaign led by renowned Spanish chef Mario Sandoval (two Michelin stars) and an international network of influential chefs, who are great spokesperson of world gastronomy, will bring the benefits of Iberian Ham to consumers. Meanwhile, this campaign will be carried out in Spain, France, Germany and Mexico to awaken the “Iberian Sense” of more than 300 million consumers, in addition to reaching a market with enormous potential such as China. It is the most important international promotion program carried out by the Iberian sector in its history and is expected to show Chinese consumers what it means to enjoy Iberian Ham in all its splendor.

On the occasion of the Lantern Festival and the Winter Olympic Games, The Interprofessional Association of the Iberian Pig (ASICI) wishes its best regards to Chinese consumers and will continue to promote the culture of Iberian Ham within a healthy diet.

About ASICI

The Interprofessional Association of the Iberian Pig (ASICI) is a non-profit Interprofessional Agrifood Organization (OIA) in which more than 95% of the organizations in the production branch (farmers) and more than 95% of the branch of the transformation (industrial) of Iberian pork are represented. Created in 1992, it was recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in 1999 as an Interprofessional Agrifood Organization for the Iberian Pig Sector.

Medriva™ COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test Kits to Launch at Mannings, Largest Pharmacy Chain in Hong Kong; Company to Donate $4 Million of Test Kits to NGOs to help fight Omicron Wave as Mass Rapid Testing (MRT) becomes the future for controlling future outbreaks

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 15 February 2022 – Medriva™ COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test Kits will be made available across Hong Kong through its partnership with Mannings, announced by leading global medical product supplier ProcureNet.

The Company will launch its Medriva™ COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test Kit at Mannings, the largest pharmacy chain in Hong Kong with 366 stores as the city fights its biggest battle with the pandemic.

 

The agreement comes days after Medriva won TGA approval by the Australian Government to market and sell the Medriva COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test Kit, which provides quick and easy detection via a nasal swab of a COVID-19 viral infection.

 

Medriva is one of the most effective test kits on the market, having a 95% “sensitivity rate” and a 99% “relative specificity” rate. Its overall effectiveness is 97%. The results meet the World Health Organization’s recommended performance standards.

 

“Mannings has rigorously assessed our antigen test kit for safety, quality and effectiveness,” commented ProcureNet chief executive Gurbaksh Chahal. Founded in 2020, Medriva had a successful launch through its strong government partner network, including organizations such as WHO, UNICEF, Health Canada, Italy, Hong Kong, Turkey, and over a dozen states in the USA.

 

“Mannings’ distribution enables us to supply the Medriva Antigen Test Kit to help Hong Kong residents in their early detection of the virus and provides ProcureNet with the opportunity to scale up to meet future demand there.”

 

He added: “We look forward to teaming up with Mannings to prevent the spread in Hong Kong. This will provide residents with the most cost-effective solution on the market and added assurance during the latest Omicron outbreak.”

 

On Monday, the city was hit with another record-breaking 2,071 new confirmed cases and about 4,500 preliminary infections. The test kits availability will also mean Hong Kong locals no longer have to face eight-hour waits for kits.

 

The Company will donate $4 million worth of Rapid Antigen Test Kits to the following NGOs to help distribute rapid antigen test kits to underprivileged communities: The Community Chest of Hong Kong, Caritas Hong Kong, Hong Kong Red Cross and Pok Oi Hospital. The kits will be distributed amongst the community and shared amongst the front-line staff assisting patients during the pandemic.

 

Chahal said, “Hong Kong has a special place in all of our hearts, and this is just a small token of our gratitude to help this city recover from the recent Omicron wave. We look forward to working with these NGOs at the grassroots level to help distribute these test kits to the underprivileged groups to ease any burden for the well being of the community.”

 

As countries begin to live with COVID-19, mass rapid testing becomes the main tool to control future outbreaks. Eliminating the virus through stringent lockdown and quarantine measures, and treating it as endemic, are often discussed as mutually exclusive strategies. Frequent and widespread adoption of at-home antigen rapid testing could offer the best of both worlds. And, we look forward to helping Hong Kongers by bringing the most cost-effective diagnostic solutions to them.

 

Chahal asserted: “Whatever we do now is preparation for the next variant wave or future pandemics. Self-testing is already as easy as other hygiene routines, like brushing teeth. We know it can be made as cheap as a daily commute. When that happens, we can crush the pandemic with a new kind of ‘MRT’: mass rapid testing,” said Chahal.

 

The company will extend its production capacity of 60 million rapid antigen test kits per month to Hong Kong. Medriva also plans to make the kits available on Amazon, HKTVMall, and other pharmacies in Hong Kong.

Founded by serial entrepreneur Gurbaksh Chahal, the company connects government, international world organizations and large businesses to a vast network of pre-approved on-demand manufacturers that produce the world’s most sought-after commodities at rapid speed and tremendous scale.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate’s China: Fine Wine 2021 report Highlights Progressive Estates and Increased Diversity of Wines in Its Second Year

The comprehensive reviews of 171 wines from 27 producers include the first 95-pointer in the region, as well as strong representation in the sparkling wine and rosé categories

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 15 February 2022 – Everything in China moves quickly, and that includes its nascent modern wine industry. The inaugural China: Fine Wine 2020 report by the Robert Parker Wine Advocate team that reviewed over 100 wines was the first comprehensive resource of Chinese wines, which has led to increasing recognition overseas in the past year. The newly released China: Fine Wine 2021 report has expanded its scope to cover 27 producers of note making outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character, from the coastal Shandong province to the soaring heights of Yunnan’s valleys.

“Chinese wine consumers over the past years have increased their appetite for fine wines and for locally produced wines, which in turn have seen the quality of Chinese wines significantly improving with the development of passionate and innovative domains and winemakers,” says Nicolas Achard, Chief Executive Officer of Robert Parker Wine Advocate. “In its 44-year history, Robert Parker Wine Advocate has built its reputation on providing unbiased, in-depth coverage of wines from all wine growing regions around the world, a position we are excited to continue with our trail-blazing coverage of wines from China for the discovery of a new generation of wine lovers around the world.”

The China: Fine Wine 2021 report is helmed by China reviewer Edward Ragg, Master of Wine (MW), who has been actively tasting Chinese wines since moving to Beijing in 2007 with his wife, Fongyee Walker MW. In the course of preparing the China: Fine Wine 2021 report, he made regional visits and conducted interviews with winemakers/viticulturalists to widen the scope of reviews since the 2020 report.

Highlights of Robert Parker Wine Advocate’s China: Fine Wine 2021 report

●       The First 95-Pointer

Congratulations to winemaker Maxence Dulou and viticulturalist Remi Vincent and their teams on achieving the highest-rated wine in China. 2021 is the first time a score of 95 points has been awarded to a Chinese wine—for the 2018 Ao Yun, for which there are two reviews: one where the 2018 vintage was tasted in the high-altitude village of Adong and another tasted much closer to sea level, in Beijing, where the high quality of the 2018 Ao Yun was confirmed.

Ao Yun’s yet-to-be-released Village Cru wines—also from the compelling 2018 vintage—show the particular importance of Shuori Village (with its beautiful series of terraced sites) not only for what it contributes to Ao Yun’s grand vin in terms of that blend but also its capacity to make fine wine solely from its own vineyards. Ao Yun’s 2018 Shuori Village Cru is entirely deserving of its 94-point rating.

●       Strong Vintages in 2019 in Helan Shan

As local and international audiences are still getting to know China’s wine-growing terroir, Edward Ragg’s vintage reports are helping consumers to decide which wines to purchase. He notes that 2019 is an especially strong vintage in Ningxia’s Helan Mountain area (Helan Shan), as shown by some of this last year’s wines that achieved 94-point ratings, including Kanaan Winery’s 2019 Crazy Fang Cabernet Sauvignon and Chateau Mihope’s 2019 10th Anniversary Release, along with many other deserving 2019 wines from this area.

●       Rise of Independent Winemakers

China’s best wines are not necessarily or solely emerging from highly resourced operations such as Ao Yun. Small-batch winemaker Ian Dai, for example, has made one of China’s most exciting modern reds in the form of his 2019 XiaoPu Naked Syrah Marselan (92 points). Dai is accompanied by Ma Jie (of the Petit Mont label) in trying to discover China’s best terroirs, making similarly small-batch wines using other wineries’ facilities. China really needs a younger generation of progressive winemakers, and the emergence of Dai, Jie and others is encouraging.

●       Varietal Progression

As the search for China’s signature grape continues, its winemakers are showing greater understanding of its grape varieties rather than simply making more Cabernet Sauvignon-based blends. Cabernet Franc is especially strong now at Longting Winery (in Shandong’s Penglai) as well as from Ruwen and Yuandian (both in Ningxia’s Helan Shan). Merlot has a bright future: notable Merlots come not just from Chapter & Verse (in Hebei’s Huailai) but also now from Jade Vineyard (Ningxia). Malbec looks promising in Ningxia, given the progress that Xige and others have made with the variety.

 

●       Wider Styles of Experimentation

China is also showing greater adventurousness—at least in the hands of a small number of progressive producers—in terms of wine styles and experimentation. While this was a feature of 2020, the scope appears to have widened since then. Highlights include Grace Vineyard’s 2012 Angelina Brut Reserve Blanc de Blanc (the country’s best traditional method sparkling), Yuandian’s skin-contact Amphora Riesling and Swiss winemaker Yves Roduit’s Canticle to the Land (Yunnan): this latter matured in traditional Yunnanese clay pots. Even the tiny pink wine category has seen a worthy addition in the shape of Longting’s 2019 Art Series Summer Rosé (92 points) that is made with Cabernet Franc and has picked up some awards at international competitions.

The top 10 scoring wines from Robert Parker Wine Advocate’s China Wine Report 2021 are:

1.    2018 Ao Yun, Diqing, Yunnan (95 points)

2.    2019 Chateau Mihope The 10th Anniversary Limited Release Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah, Helan Shan, Ningxia (94 points)

3.    2019 Kanaan Winery Crazy Fang Cabernet Sauvignon, Helan Shan, Ningxia (94 points)

4.    2018 Silver Heights Emma’s Reserve, Helan Shan, Ningxia (94 points)

5.    2018 Ao Yun Shuori Village Cru, Diqing, Yunnan (94 points)

6.    2018 Grace Vineyard Ningxia Flagship, Helan Shan, Ningxia (93 points)

7.    2015 Canaan Winery Chapter and Verse Reserve Merlot, Huailai, Hebei (93 points)

8.    2018 Shangri-La Sacred Land Cabernet Sauvignon, Diqing, Yunnan (93 points)

9.    2019 Longting Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Franc, Penglai, Shandong (93 points)

10. 2016 Jade Vineyard Messenger Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Helan Shan, Ningxia (93 points)

 

The full, detailed report and tasting notes of 171 of the best wines in China is available on www.robertparker.com. A complimentary one-month trial subscription is available to all new visitors.

Laos has recorded 441 cases of Covid-19 across the country today, with three new deaths.
