STORYLINE
Hong Kong’s two biggest grocery chains removed all milk made by a leading Chinese dairy from their shelves on Friday after traces of a chemical that has killed and sickened babies was found in products in mainland China.
PARKnSHOP supermarket chain began pulling milk produced by Mengniu Dairy Group Company from its shelves on Friday morning, a spokeswoman said.
A second supermarket chain, Wellcome, soon followed suit.
The two companies decided to act after mainland regulators found milk sold by Mengniu and two other major Chinese dairies contained the industrial chemical melamine.
Representatives of Mengniu in Hong Kong did not answer calls seeking comment.
A customer told AP Television that she just tried to find other substitute products to give to her family.
“It looks like people are no longer have protected from food (problems). So I just try to avoid ones that have problems, now I’m trying to buy soya milk for my children,” Dorin Chiu said
Test results showed nearly 10 percent of samples taken from Mengniu and Yili Industrial Group Company products contained up to 8.4 milligrams of melamine per kilogram, a report posted on the Web site of China’s General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said.
Milk from Shanghai-based Bright Dairy also had melamine contamination, it said.
Hong Kong authorities recalled all Yili products on Thursday, including milk, yogurt, and ice cream.
The spokeswomen said Bright Dairy products are not sold at PARKnSHOP and Wellcome.
Melamine-laced milk powder has been linked to four infant deaths and illness in 6,200 other babies on the mainland.
The chemical has no nutritional value but is high in nitrogen, making products containing it appear to be higher in protein.
Suppliers trying to cut costs are believed to have added the toxic chemical to watered-down milk.
Mengniu and Yili, China’s two biggest dairies, were among companies forced to recall baby formula in China on Wednesday.
So far, all the sick infants in China were found to have consumed milk powder produced by another company, Sanlu Group Company.
The widening crisis has raised questions about the effectiveness of tighter controls China promised after a series of food safety scares in recent years over contaminated seafood, toothpaste and a pet food ingredient tainted with melamine.
In 2004, more than 200 Chinese infants suffered malnutrition and at least 12 died after being fed fake formula that contained no nutrients.
