India bans Chinese dairy products
The Commerce Ministry on Thursday imposed a ban on the import of Chinese dairy products after these items were found contaminated with melamine that killed children in China recently.
The ban, which comes into immediate effect for three months until further orders, follows the Union Health Ministry’s letter to the Customs Department and Commerce Ministry in this regard.
“We had asked the Customs Department and the Commerce Ministry to look into the milk products which are imported from China, as Chinese milk powder, sweets and chocolates containing milk are seen in the market,” said a senior official in the Health Ministry.
