Latest test results of dairy product samples (with table)

The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) today (October 4) released the latest batch of results of melamine tests on dairy products.

Results available today showed that all the 106 samples tested were satisfactory. These included cakes, egg tarts, baby food, chocolates, instant drink mixes, milk, cereals, ice-cream, cream and nutrition supplements for hospital use.

"So far, we have tested about 140 overseas imported frozen confection samples and they are all satisfactory. We will continue to collect samples of dairy products and products with dairy ingredients for testing.

"Test results for some milk powder, frozen confections, chocolates, milk beverages, cakes, buns and cream soup will be available tomorrow," a spokesman for the CFS said.

Information on the test results can be found on the CFS's website, www.cfs.gov.hk. For enquiries, members of the public can also call the CFS's enquiry number 2381 6096 which operates from 9am to 9pm daily.
