The city's quality control watchdog is investigating a business suspected of selling counterfeit brand pet food online, the agency announced Tuesday.

The Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision began its investigation in February after receiving a report that a highly rated store on www.taobao.com had been selling counterfeit brand cat and dog food for two years, according to a bureau press release.

The business's owner, surnamed Luo, told authorities that he hired employees to buy ordinary pet food online and then repackaged it using fake packaging of famous pet food brands such as "Royal Canin" and "Pedigree."
