Chinese food maker says no melamine in biscuits

GUANGZHOU - A Chinese food company said on Sunday that no further melamine has been found in its biscuits since some were found to contain the industrial chemical in September and destroyed last month.

Kam Tai Co., Ltd. in Dongguan, southern Guangdong Province, said the company's current production and sales were normal.

Two batches of 1,500 boxes of biscuits for export were found to contain melamine in September after Hong Kong and Singapore said the company's "Zhengshufang" biscuits were contaminated, according to Dongguan's quality and quarantine authorities.

The tainted products were destroyed on December 8.

Ma Feng, a Dongguan Quality and Technical Inspection Bureau official, said the bureau had stepped up inspections of all Kam Tai's products after the country's tainted milk powder scandal was exposed in September.

No melamine has since been found in the company's products, Ma said.

The company had been using milk powder produced under a brand based in the northwestern Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. In September, the company began to use an Inner Mongolia-based company's milk powder, which was found to contain melamine.

The company only used the brand from Inner Mongolia for a short time in its export products, said Ma.

Kam Tai recalled all exported products from markets such as Singapore, the Republic of Korea and Japan after they were found to be tainted.

The Ministry of Health has said it was likely the tainted milk scandal with Sanlu Group at its center killed at least six babies. Another 294,000 infants suffered from urinary problems such as kidney stones.
