China strengthens supervision during holidays to curb tainted milk scandal
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2008-10-05 21:52 BEIJING - China continued to strengthen dairy product supervision during the week-long National Day holiday amid efforts to ensure food safety and restore public trust in milk supplies. All the milk containing melamine had been withdrawn from sale in northern Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and consumers should be confident, according to the regional administration for industry and commerce. The regional product quality watchdog has sent officials to supervise production and tested more than 1,500 batches of milk products in more than 160 milk factories. Yili and Mengniu, China's two leading brands based in Inner Mongolia, have made promises to ensure milk safety and are promoting their products to renew confidence among the public. Melamine is a chemical used to make plastics. Experts say it was added illegally to watered-down raw milk to make it appear as if it had a high protein content. The tainted milk is known to have killed four babies and left 13,000 others hospitalized with kidney problems in China. A total of 206 officials in Shaanxi Province were sent to monitor the production processes of 95 milk factories, said Zhang Fuhai, director of the provincial product safety watchdog. "The products shall be put on sale only after they passed the strict sampling tests," said Qu Rui'e who was in charge of supervising the Oriental Dairy Co. Ltd. based in Xi'an, the provincial capital. |
