Bottler says drinks safe

Officials at Taiwan-based beverage maker President Enterprise Corp said yesterday its Peachate, a peach juice drink, has below the accepted level of 0.1 mg of arsenic per liter through a test conducted by Chinese Academy of Inspection and Quarantine.

Haikou's Industrial & Commercial Administration Bureau said on Nov 23 that the company's product Peachate manufactured by its Guangzhou-based producer on Aug 22, together with two of Nongfu Spring's fruit beverage products, was contaminated by the toxic chemical arsenic.
