FOOD safety authorities here have released the last batch of China dairy products for sale, with the exception of six products which have been newly found tainted with melamine.
With Thursday's clearance of China-made biscuits, crackers, liquid milk, ice-cream, milk and whey proteins, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) has effectively ended a two-month long ban on the sale of such products.
It has been progressively lifting this ban in the past two weeks, and has recently allowed products like butter, ghee, bread and cakes imported from China to be sold here again.
The end of the ban means importers and retailers can sell remaining stocks to the public. But companies still cannot bring in fresh stocks as an import ban is still in place.
Six biscuit and snack products will not be making their way back to shelves any time soon. They are:
Baby Looney Tunes Cream Filled Biscuits
Assorted Family Pack
C & OK Vigour 888 Egg & Milk
Khong Guan Mini Burger Biscuit Bulk Pack
Liluo Fruit P.D. Almond Flavor
Potter Potato Chips Pizza
Tom & Jerry Cheese Balls
Like the 33 products from China and Malaysia previously found tainted with melamine, all remaining stocks of these products will be destroyed.
