European Union Bans Baby Food Containing Chinese Milk

Have you read the news about Chinese milk products? It is creating a huge impact to the world.

The European Union has banned imports of baby food that contains Chinese milk and is considering restrictions on other Chinese food products with powdered milk, as a tainted milk scandal in China takes on international proportions.

The announcement comes as controversy continues in China over infant milk formula tainted with the industrial chemical melamine that has killed four babies and sickened thousands of Chinese children.

In China, the problem has spread to a popular brand of candy, with authorities pulling White Rabbit candy from shelves in Shanghai and the southern province of Hainan.

Currently, White Rabbit candy has been recalled already in Singapore, Britain, Australia and New Zealand, was found to contain “unsatisfactory” levels of melamine — more than six times the legal limit — in a test of 67 dairy products, according to the Hong Kong government’s Center for Food Safety.

This is bad. I have to give up one of my favorite candies for now. What a pity!
