China tainted milk crisis triggers recalls in Europe and Asia
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Chinese officials pulled candies thought to contain contaminated milk from store shelves Thursday, echoing the expanding recalls across Asia and Europe of products ranging from yogurt to biscuits.
Australia and New Zealand also issued recalls Thursday for imported Chinese-made White Rabbit candy.
On Wednesday British supermarket chain Tesco removed White Rabbit Creamy Candies off its shelves as a precaution amid reports that samples of the milk candy in Singapore and New Zealand had tested positive for melamine.
In Europe, the Dutch food safety watchdog began checking Chinese food for traces of contaminated milk. France banned the sale of all goods containing derivatives of Chinese dairy products, including biscuits, candy or other such foods.
