China Yurun Food Group Ltd, the nation's second-largest meat processor, rejected allegations of accounting irregularities and contaminated products as "groundless".

Yurun hasn't found any food safety concerns related to its products, it said in a statement to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
The meat company fell 13 percent to HK$6.51 in Hong Kong trading on Thursday, the lowest since October 2006.
