Close watch on additives
Authorities in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region are examining illegal additives in grain and cooking oil to ensure food safety in the wake of the melamine-tainted milk scandal.
Additives such as bleaching agents used in flour and rice, and other substances are prohibited and any manufacturer found using them will have their business suspended or face another punishment.
