China Says New Liquid Milk in Line With Melamine Limits

Milk fears may be assuaged by results that Chinese liquid milk products now meet melamine limit restrictions. Xinhua reports:

The latest tests found that Chinese liquid dairy products met the new temporary restrictions on melamine, the country’s top quality control agency said on Saturday.

It was the ninth investigation on the industrial chemical following the tainted baby formula scandal that killed at least three infants and sickened more than 50,000 others, according to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ).

The latest tests covered 532 batches of liquid milk, including yogurt, from 69 brands in 23 major cities nationwide, the agency said.
