Are Chinese imported foods safe to consume?
The European Commission immediately banned the import of Chinese food containing milk-related and soya-related products for infants and small children. Since this decision was taken, further strict controls have been put in place to protect the European consumer. All Chinese food and feed containing milk, milk products, soya or soya products, as well as of baking powder have been tested for melamine before importation to Europe. Products already on the market have also been tested. Any product with a melamine concentration higher than 2.5 mg/kg cannot be imported or have to be withdrawn from the market.
