China Takes Measures to Reassure Public Over Milk Scare
The government said it had tested 47 brands of milk and yoghurt and detected no trace of melamine, the chemical discovered in baby milk powder that has sickened 53,000 children and killed four so far.
China's General Administration of Quality Supervision checked 296 batches of dairy products from the brands across the country's major cities, an official at the agency confirmed to AFP on Saturday.
"No melamine was detected," the agency said on its website.
The test was good news for China, which has sought to contain a scandal that has had global repercussions, with countries and regions around the world rushing, banning or restricting its milk products.
The European Union on Friday decided to ban all imports of baby food containing traces of milk from China, and Hong Kong ordered a recall of two products found to contain melamine, a chemical normally used to make plastic.
Japan meanwhile has ordered firms which import dairy products from China to test them for melamine after the chemical was found in four items made by one of its leading food makers.
In China, where more than 7,000 tonnes of tainted dairy products had already been removed from shops across the country, a popular candy brand became the latest victim on Friday.
