The Ministry of Commerce and Industry issued a statement here today saying that, "based on the results of the examination and analysis of samples of Chinese food products, including dairy products which had been seized earlier have proved that these were contaminated with harmful melamine. "As such, 2,142,470 kilograms of melamine tainted products were destroyed". The Ministry of Commerce and Industry in a statement today said that this action comes after the contamination was discovered in Chinese food products, including milk products. The statement added that the ministry in coordination with Food and Drug Authority had withdrawn samples of Chinese milk products and subjected all Chinese baby-formula products to examination and analysis in specialized laboratories to ensure the availability of melamine free products.
