Hong Kong finds melamine in Chinese-made cheesecake
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Hong Kong's food safety agency has found the industrial chemical melamine in a Japanese brand's Chinese-made cheesecake, it said Wednesday.
The chemical was found in a sample of Lotte Cream Cheese Cake manufactured by Japan's Lotte China Foods Co. Ltd. in mainland China, the Centre for Food Safety said in a statement.
It is the second time the Hong Kong authorities have detected the chemical, which is used to make plastics and fertilizers, in Lotte's products. Last week, the agency and its counterparts in Macau separately found high level of melamine in the company's popular Koala's March chocolate and strawberry cream cookies.
