New dairy products not tainted

Latest tests on Chinese dairy products have found no traces of melamine, following a scandal involving powdered milk tainted with the chemical, the country's top quality supervision agency said yesterday.

Samples of 128 batches from 31 brands of baby formula produced after Sept 14 did not contain melamine, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) said.

Recent tests on 212 batches of newly produced milk powder for adult consumption from 84 brands were also found to be free of the chemical, the administration said.
