Chinese candy set for return abroad

SHANGHAI: China's famous White Rabbit candy will be back in shops overseas from April, six months after sales were halted amid the widespread tainted milk scandal.

Guan Sheng Yuan, which makes the candy at its base in Shanghai, has already completed 95 percent of its redistribution plans for the domestic market since it returned to shelves last October.

"Everything is still being prepared and the new overseas markets plan will be announced in April," company spokeswoman Wang Yiyi told China Daily yesterday, adding that the candy will return better than ever.
