Foods containing Chinese milk products banned
By Craig McGinty on Sep 25, 2008 in Food and Drink.
THE French authorities have ordered that products from China that may include milk derivatives such as biscuits and sweets be removed from sale.
The Ministère de l’Agriculture et de la Pêche said it has made the precautionary move following the crisis in China over milk contaminated with the industrial chemical melamine.
The European Commission has also said all imported products from China containing more than 15 per cent milk powder will be tested, although no food contaminated with melamine had been found in the EU so far.
