Sushiro Operator Shares Drop After Beijing Food Probe

Conveyor-belt sushi chain operator Food & Life Companies Ltd. fell the most in more than three months after Chinese authorities inspected one of its Sushiro outlets in Beijing over suspected food contamination.

The stock slid as much as 14%, marking its steepest intraday decline since Nov. 17, after local media reported that parasite eggs were found on a tuna dish served at a restaurant in the Chinese capital earlier this week. The stock has climbed 11.5% this year.
