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.
