China finds new liquid milk products not contaminated
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2008-10-07 19:39 The latest tests on Chinese liquid dairy products found no traces of melamine, the country's top quality supervision agency said on Tuesday. It was the seventh investigation on the chemical, which is often used in plastic and is banned in food manufacturing, following the tainted baby formula scandal that broke out last month.
At present, the agency tested 2,826 batches of liquid dairy products produced after September 14 and found none tainted with melamine. Calling China's dairy production and distribution "chaotic" and admitting government supervision was "gravely absent," the State Council, the country's Cabinet, is planning an overhaul for the recovery of the nation's dairy industry. At an executive meeting on Monday, State councilors noted the Sanlu baby formula scandal had been a major public health incident and tarnished the reputation of China's dairy sector and its food industry at large. The direct cause of the incident was illegal production, greed and ignoring people's lives, the State Council said in a statement. The meeting also approved draft regulations on quality control for dairy products. They stipulated stricter and detailed rules on animal husbandry, fresh milk collection, dairy production, domestic sales and the import and export of dairy products.
