Shanghai Daily news

Shanghai's food authority will launch a citywide food security inspection of milk powders and other dairy products in the wake of a discovery that a Nestle milk powder contains too much iodine, today's Shanghai Evening News reported.
The Shanghai Food and Drug Administration has conducted random checks to Nestle products at local supermarkets and will introduce a wider dairy product check as of tomorrow, the report said.
What action the authority will take will depend on the results.
The milk powder panic came after the Zhejiang Province Industrial and Commercial Administrative Bureau announced last Wednesday that Neslac Gold 3+ Growing Up Milk, produced by a Nestle subsidiary in Heilongjiang Province, exceeded the national standard for iodine content.
The Zhejiang bureau requires unapproved products to be removed from store shelves.
